It has been confirmed that the group ‘BTS’, which attended the UN General Assembly as President Moon Jae-in’s special envoy, has not yet been paid for the related expenses.
Controversy continues because it is contrary to what Tak Hyeon-min, secretary of the Blue House, said earlier that “the cost has already been paid.”
Kim Seung-su, a member of the National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee, and People’s Strength, asked whether BTS would pay the UN special envoy-related expenses at a national audit by the Overseas Culture and Public Information Service on the 14th, and President Park Jeong-ryeol replied, “Not yet.”
Rep. Kim said, “On September 30, a Blue House official said that the payment had been made, and Tak Hyeon-min, a secretary of the Blue House, also appeared on SNS and on the broadcast on October 1 and said that the payment had already been completed.” “The Blue House and Secretary Tak knew Did you lie to the entire nation?” he asked. Rep. Kim also said, “I heard that the cost of a tour of BTS was 700 million won, but I heard that the actual cost was more than double that. An official from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, “Through the UN special envoy schedule, we have already discussed with BTS to settle and pay all expenses such as airfare, lodging, food, and local transportation at Haemunhong.” The payment was not received because the confirmation letter did not come, but the payment schedule has not changed.”
