During their meeting with Mr Biden, where BTS members talked about rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in the US, BTS' floppy-haired, stylish members were praised by the White House as "young ambassadors who spread a message of positivity and hope across the world".
A video from their meeting was posted on the official Twitter handle of the US President (called POTUS). "It was great to meet with you, @bts_bighit. Thanks for all you're doing to raise awareness around the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination. I look forward to sharing more of our conversation soon," the caption of the post read.
The members of the band, who are all in their twenties and frequently wear earrings and lipstick, have given a voice to a generation that is comfortable with gender diversity.
Despite doing fewer performances during the epidemic, they are credited with earning billions for the South Korean economy, and their label has seen a rise in revenues.
