South Korean K-pop boyband BTS spoke out about anti-Asian hate crimes and Asian inclusion in their first visit to the White House on May 31, saying that the escalation of hate crimes in the United States was devastating.

“We were devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes, including Asian-American hate crimes. To put a stop on this and support the cause, we’d like to take this opportunity to voice ourselves once again,” band member Jimin said at a press briefing.
