WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - South Korean boy band BTS met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday.
The K-pop stars made brief statements to reporters prior to the meeting, calling for a halt to crimes targeting Asian Americans.
"We were devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes, including Asian American hate crimes," band member Jimin said through a translator. "To put a stop on this and support the cause, we'd like to take this opportunity to voice ourselves once again."
