‘The Late Late Show’ host James Corden has upset BTS Army for his recent comments on the boy band’s visit to the UN. The K pop band made a historic visit to the United Nations General Assembly as they performed and gave a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bts-addresses-unga-key-highlights-of-their-speech-414506">speech</a> on climate change and need to understand this from the youth’s perspective.&nbsp;

BTS <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bts-takes-over-unga-performs-permission-to-dance-inside-the-assembly-hall-414476">performed their latest song ‘Permission to Dance’</a>, albeit it was pre-recorded in the halls of UN and was showcased to policymakers and politicians from around the world. The group then returned to New York to attend this year’s session as the special presidential envoy for future generations and culture.

Commenting on this trip, James Corden joked, “The United Nations General Assembly kicked off this morning in New York City, and it started with some pretty unusual visitors… BTS were there. BTS visited the UN… Although lots of people are saying why are BTS there, the world leaders have no choice but to take BTS seriously. BTS has one of the largest ARMY on the planet earth. Historic moment. It actually marks the first time that 15 year old girls everywhere found themselves wishing that they were Secretary General António Guterres."

Referring to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/bts">BTS</a> fans as “15-year-olds” and “unusual visitors” did not sit well with the ARMY who took to Twitter to express their anger.&nbsp;

James Corden slammed for calling BTS Army '15-year-old girls', deletes video

It was a big night for K-pop as global sensation BTS took to the world stage at the United Nations General Assembly. The band addressed the world leaders at UNGA and also performed their song 'Permission to Dance'.&nbsp;

Soon after the news came out of BTS making it to UNGA&nbsp;that usually always has policymakers engaging in politics and world affairs, netizens thronged the United Nations’ official YouTube channel and posted their signature purple heart emoji along with crying emoji and thumbs up emoji, to name a few. More than 980,000 viewers were tuned in there, and tens of thousands of others viewed on other YouTube channels and platforms.

In total, there were more than one million viewers watching BTS at the UNGA, a first.

In their speech, the seven BTS members -- Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook -- spoke about their experiences as part of the younger generation, and how their views about their future paths were being shaped by the pandemic.

Their younger fans in their teens and in their 20s have spent nearly two years in the pandemic learning new things online, connecting with each other on a deeper level, and studying up on issues such as climate change and how they can make a difference, the band members said.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bts-addresses-unga-key-highlights-of-their-speech-414506" hreflang="en">BTS addresses UNGA; key highlights of their speech</a>

“I’ve heard that people in their teens and 20s today are being referred to as covid’s lost generation,” RM said. “I think it’s a stretch to say they’re lost, just because the path they tread can’t be seen by grown-up eyes.”

They then spoke in support of the COVID-19 vaccines. “Yes, all seven of us, of course we’ve received vaccinations. The vaccine was a sort of ticket to meeting our fans waiting for us and to being able to stand here before you today,” J-Hope said.

After their speech, BTS showed a video performance of their summer hit song, ‘Permission to Dance.’ The video showed the members singing and dancing throughout the General Assembly Hall and on the UN headquarter premises in New York.

The band members said they hoped the song would inspire positivity and welcomeness.&nbsp;
