"They do much more than Olympic Athletes who win medals," Korean netizens write comments that BTS deserves a special military exemption after seeing the group at the White House

BTS became the first Korean artist to have a conversation with US President Joe Biden at the White House.

The global powerhouse group had a 35-minute chat with President Biden in the Oval Office of the White House at 3 pm local time on May 31. In this meeting, President Biden and BTS talked about hate crimes against Asians, Asian inclusion, and his recent visit to Korea.

This event was possible after BTS was invited to the White House to celebrate the 'Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.'

President Biden recently raised the topic of 'hate' by referring to hate crimes against Asian descent. President Biden explained that he believes hate will decrease when good people continue to speak against it and share how bad hate is.

President Biden also explained his reasons for inviting BTS to the White House and shared, "People listen to what you (BTS) say, and what you do is good for everyone. This is not because of your (artistic) talent but because of the message you communicate with people. This is the important point."

After this meaningful meeting between BTS and president Joe Biden, many media outlets have been releasing countless articles about BTS's visit to the White House. The news articles continue to praise the group for increasing national prestige as they have been invited to the White House over the other politicians of Korea.

Therefore, many Korean netizens are also agreeing that BTS must be given special military exemptions as they are the leading K-pop group bringing positive influence to the globe and increasing the national prestige.

Korean netizens commented, "BTS is a true pride of Asia with a strong global influence that spreads socially good influence beyond any music groups," "BTS went to the White House and gave a briefing in Korean, which even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea could not do," "Just give them a military exemption," "They do much more than Olympic athletes who win medals with their global influence and spreading positivity and bringing awareness on issues," "This is what raising national prestige is," "They are the real treasures," Netizens also commented, "This proves they deserve military exemption," "I'm so proud of BTS speaking against Asian hate crime in Korean," "I'm so proud, they are promoting Korea more than the cultural diplomat," "They really deserve military exemption because they're promoting Korea more than Olympic athletes," "It's really hard to meet the president but this is really amazing."
