bts chosen for the cover of times magazine. red velvetâs irene and seulgi chosen to perform for the time 100 talks (organized by time magazine) conference in hk.
bts was invited to speak at the united nations, where they spoke about empowering young people. red velvet was chosen to perform in north korea as a part of a cultural diplomacy campaign between nk and sk.
bts became the youngest people to receive the order of cultural merit. red velvet received the cultural ministerâs award. (they both received their awards at the same ceremony in 2018)
yep im never shutting up about their cultural impact <3333
oh and let me add: btsâ universe is very intricate and conveys messages of loving yourself, overcoming adversity, speaking yourself. red velvetâs music may seem spunky and quirky, but their diverse music often hides deeper msgs (OOTN mv being a tribute to the sewol victims)
