After their speech at the 76th United Nations General Assembly, the BTS members visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) with South Korea’s First Lady, Kim Jung Sook, and the Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Hwang Hee.
During their visit to The Met, the members presented the museum with a gift from the South Korean government. They presented the museum with artist Chung Hae Cho‘s piece, Rhythm of the Five Color Luster. This piece is based on the five elements of East Asian cosmology, which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
Chung Hae Cho is known as a master of ottchil, Korean lacquer, and Rhythm of the Five Color Luster will be featured during the Met’s exhibition Shell and Resin: Korean Mother-of-Pearl and Lacquer, which will run from December 13, 2021 to July 5, 2022.
During their visit to the museum, the BTS members joined the First Lady, the Culture Minister, and other invited guests for a look at the Met’s collection of Korean art.
