STORYLINE:
K-pop icons Seventeen sat down for an interview with the Associated Press at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, Tuesday, ahead of their performance in its main hall.
The internationally renowned hitmakers will also be giving a speech, as part of the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum —as they become the first musical act invited for a dedicated session at the event.
“The message tonight, solidarity through conversation and music. And we’re just extremely honored to be here and give a speech and perform our music and hopefully we can help the world,” said Vernon of Seventeen.
Their appearance at the forum is described by UNESCO as a recognition of “the importance of blending art with activism,“ and “a call for youth empowerment and collective action.“
During the 60-minute session, the 13-member group will strive to inspire young people to engage with urgent issues and help drive change, highlighting how education and solidarity can lead to a better future.
“SEVENTEEN came to UNESCO representing all the young people and we’d like to deliver the positive energy to many people. And we’ll do our best to deliver the greatest energy and power,“ said DK.
Seventeen—who are made up of , Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino—are taking part on the heels of the October release of their latest mini album, “Seventeenth Heaven.“
The biennial global UNESCO Youth Forum has been held every two years since 1999, with the aim of giving young people the chance to share ideas with representatives of the member states of UNESCO, and youth-related institutions from around the world.
UNESCO says 170 youth changemakers are to gather at the 2023 forum, to discuss the social impact of climate change.
