Members of BTS are flying to the United States to visit the White House.

Members of the South Korean boy band BTS arrived in the United States on Sunday for a meeting with US President Joe Biden at the White House to explore methods to combat escalating anti-Asian hate crimes.

BTS will meet with Biden on Tuesday to “explore Asian inclusion and representation, as well as anti-Asian hate crimes and prejudice, which have become increasingly prevalent topics in recent years,” according to the White House.

Six members of the septet flew to the United States on Sunday, with Jungkook departing the day before.

After arriving at Terminal 2 of Incheon International Airport around 9:30 a.m., they waved to fans and reporters before heading to board their flight. (Yonhap)
