Happy 10th anniversary BTS! In my latest @TeenVogue essay, I explore how impactful they've been to all ARMY, but specifically adoptee diaspora who had been raised "white." @BTS_twt instilled a love of Korean culture in their daily lives.💜 teenvogue.com/story/as-bts-c…

Replying to @bts_bighit
Thanks for having us at the White House! It was a huge honor to discuss important issues with @POTUS today. We're very grateful for #BTSARMY who made it all possible.🫰💜 #BTS #방탄소년단 #BTSatTheWhiteHouse

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.

Did they grab random English speakers to be the VIPs in #squidgame? They cannot be actual actors. I’m going to move to Korea and be an English speaking actress.

Happy Juneteenth! The first U.S. holiday that's illegal to teach about in 15 states.
