BTS' Jimin is becoming a force to reckon with as his accolades and achievements continue to grow steadily.

On the 14th of September, Jimin and his fellow BTS members were officially appointed as Special Youth Envoy For Culture and Future Generations by The President of The Republic of South Korea, Moon Jae-In. In the ceremony, Jimin was accorded with a certificate of appointment, diplomatic passport, and special pen and thus will be representing the youth worldwide at the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly on the 21st of September this year.

Together with this special appointment certificate and a diplomatic passport which guarantees special privileges in the implementation of the official state duties, Jimin adds to himself a new accolade to his other three national awards, the Van Fleet Award of recognition for their outstanding contributions towards the promotion of US-Korea relations,  the Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit for the promotion of South Korean culture and development and the special Plaque of Appreciation given for his Fan Dance at the Melon Music Awards 2018.

BTS' Jimin is hailed as a role model for young people and inspires many through his work, words of encouragement, and giving himself towards various causes in society. Therefore, together with the members, he will deliver messages of comfort and hope to countless youth worldwide at the General Assembly. Ahead of this official appointment ceremony, Jimin had set the pace when he delivered a special message of hope for the youth when he talked about how working out and breaking a sweat has been instrumental for him to avoid overthinking and becoming even more positive. This was posted along with a beautiful photo of the Han river on one of his usual evening walks and runs to illustrate nature's therapeutic and healing properties.

As he invites fellow youth to share some of the things that have helped them change in their lives, it is expected that the special appointment and duty will cater to the youth and that projects initiated will make the youth better deal with the ever-changing world. Jimin was praised by New York's First Lady Chirlane McCray for his wonderful perspective on self-love and for his speech during the national youth day celebrations drew attention from experts from International Organizations like the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum who praised his great ability to comfort and inspire with his words.

In celebration of this grand diplomatic appointment, fans shared photos and videos of the special moment along with messages of congratulations and pride in their idol. These were posted along with keywords like SOUTH KOREA'S PRIDE JIMIN, OUR PRIDE JIMIN, and more. 

H is recognized for his great contributions towards the globalization of Korean culture by popularizing its food (Tteokbokki, Kimchi, Hot chicken fried noodles), clothing (the Hanbok), art & culture (HonGil Dong), dance (Korean fan dance) for which he got an award from the Preservation Association of Buchaechum (Fan dance) and even promoting tourism like the recent Your Seoul Goes On Visit Seoul campaign which drew much attention. With this new diplomatic duty, Korean media have also conferred upon him the titles of Culture and Diplomacy Frontman, among others.

Congratulations to the new Special Envoy for the Youth, Park Jimin!
