South Korean boy band BTS is known for drawing huge crowds across the globe, and the White House was no exception. The seven-member group packed out the Brady Press Briefing Room for a short appearance before a meeting with President Joe Biden.

The briefing room, normally a staid environment with space for 49 seated reporters, transformed into a standing-room-only venue buzzing with energy ahead of BTS's appearance, which had only been announced hours before. Fans gathered outside the White House gates as well, hoping to catch a glimpse of the pop sensations.

BIDEN AND POWELL TO MEET FOR FIRST TIME IN MONTHS AMID SOARING INFLATION

"Hi, we’re BTS, and it is a great honor to be invited to the White House today to discuss the important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion, and diversity," said one member of the group as the men took turns giving brief statements. BTS did not take questions from the press.

The youthful pop sensations were scheduled to meet with Biden to discuss those topics right after the briefing.

"While many of you may know BTS as Grammy-nominated international icons, they also play an important role as youth ambassadors promoting a message of respect and positivity," said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "As many of you know, the president has led a historic whole-of-government approach to combat racism, xenophobia, and intolerance facing AANHPI communities."

BTS did not sing, but the overflowing crowd in the modest Brady briefing room did generate COVID-19 concerns for some, along with minor confrontations ahead of the briefing about protocols and what equipment was allowed in the room. Once BTS took the stage, photographers yelled out, "Phones down!", several times while attempting to get clear shots of the group.
