BTS is famous around the world and has a respectable influence that is undisputed for many people. However, not everyone knows or witnessed their power even in the political sphere.

Recently, Tak Hyun-min, the former Secretary of the Blue House, drew attention when revealing that due to BTS' popularity, their power is even comparable to that of the heads of state when they appear. present in the United Nations. This has surprised many people because of that.

In particular, thanks to this power, BTS has helped many people, including secretary Tak, do this easily without problems:

Tak Hyun-min is the one who published the book "Mr. President", which tells the story of his 1,815 days in the Blue House with former President Moon Jae-in. Recently, the secretary Tak appeared on Medici Media's Youtube chanel to tell the story of the Blue House and former President Moon - whom he served during his term.

One of his fondest memories from working with the former President was when he saw President Moon and BTS appear at the United Nations. Tak shared an anecdote from BTS' speech at the opening ceremony of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), a special event at the United Nations General Assembly.

Former Secretary Tak said that Mr. Moon and BTS' speech to the United Nations was "called Project Kim Koo (Paekbeom)", adding, "This is the first time a South Korean president has spoken on behalf of the United Nations, and is the first time a Korean artist has spoken on behalf of young people around the world at the United Nations General Assembly."

He added an UN official claimed that: "Since the founding of the United Nations, there have been a number of statements and events at the United Nations, but it was a speech that attracted the most attention". Moreover, he pointed out that the simultaneous speech of the President of Korea and BTS was a big event for the United Nations thanks to the attention of BTS's fan.

Not only that, secretary Tak also revealed that the group's speech was 100% written by them and government officials did not interfere with any content in it. Even speaking in English or Korean was chosen by BTS and RM insisted that the group speak in Korean.

Even when it was suggested that it should be done in English, RM and BTS insisted that they wanted to do it in Korean and all respected the group's opinion. This is also the first time that Secretary Tak realized the surprisingly large popularity of young BTS boys.

In particular, secretary Tak also revealed another interesting story at that time that showed that BTS not only had great influence, but their power was not inferior to that of the heads of state. He said that at the time, the United Nations General Assembly was concerned about isolation and security, so they restricted who could attend (but even the leaders weren't required to attend, they still asked permission to be present to watch BTS speak).

In that situation, there is a senior member of the Korean government who cannot enter the United Nations General Assembly. The security control at the entrance to the United Nations General Assembly at that time was equally strict, so even though he explained it to the best of his ability, he could not get inside because they doubted the officer's honesty.

Even Secretary Tak couldn't help him, but as soon as the official showed the security forces a photo taken with BTS during the United Nations rehearsal the day before, they immediately let him join in. Both secretary Tak and his colleague were surprised because with just one photo with BTS, they could pass through the strict security control network without incident.

Only then did Secretary Tak realize, "Oh, I feel that these friends (BTS) are amazing," and realized that BTS has as much power as heads of state.
