Really, my heart is fluttering from coming here this time around with such a public responsibility. As I visited the Korea Gallery earlier with the First Lady and distinguished guests, I was overwhelmed with emotions and had many different thoughts. In particular, it was meaningful and new to be able to view Korean art in New York, a city where many people around the world want to come to so much, as you said earlier, the art mecca, America’s New York. I believe we are able to be here right now thanks to the many people working hard to show the greatness of Korean culture. We are so very honored and pleased to be able to present to you a Korean artist’s work in this way. And, as an art lover and fan of Korean art, I am especially joyful.

I am BTS’ leader, Kim Namjoon. I’m afraid you might not be able to hear me because of the helicopter, so I’ll speak loudly. Firstly, the Metropolitan Museum is a place I really love in New York and I took a picture here 2 years ago when I came to visit myself. I am so honored to be able to speak with you like this on such a beautiful day, next to this artwork that I love very much, Corte’s mobile. Truthfully, I nearly forgot what I was going to say because of this view, but I’ll do my best to keep going.

In truth, while K-pop, K-drama, and K-films are prominent parts of K-culture, there are truly amazing Korean artists who have not yet been discovered by those outside our country and they are working so very diligently.

As Special Presidential Envoys representing Korea, we will work hard with a sense of duty to spread further the greatness of Korean culture and to broaden the potential of K-culture. And the next time we come, as there are many artworks here at The Met that I personally really, really love, I’d like to return and admire the Korea Gallery and the incredible collections here at The Met, as myself, human being Kim Namjoon. Once again, thank you.
