BTS: Jungkook and Jimin's dads played key role in K-Pop kings becoming Busan World Expo 2030 brand ambassadors
BTS was appointed as brand ambassadors for the Busan World Expo 2030. The press conference was held at the HYBE headquarters, and the pics and videos of the boys went viral. Now, a Korean media outlet Joongang Ilbo has reported that people from Busan's political arena approached Jimin's father to help them get access to BTS, and put in a good word. It seems the whole Busan World Expo 2030 team was trying to get HYBE and BTS on board for a year. It seems Park Sunghoon who is the deputy mayor of Busan's economy met Jimin's dad. As we know, Jimin's dad runs a big cafe Magnate in Busan.
He is also a prominent member of the community. Jimin's dad Park Hyun-Soo later called up the dad of Jungkook. It seems JK's dad told his son about the proposal that they wanted BTS as the brand ambassadors. It seems Jimin's dad is happy that the band has accepted the idea. He said even Jimin loved the idea of supporting his hometown of Busan. It is a known fact that the families of Jungkook and Jimin are very close. Like Jimin, even Jungkook's family is in the restaurant business.

BTS or Bangtan Boys enjoy immense global popularity. There is no news on whether they will get exemption from military enlistment. In South Korea, 18 months of serving in the ARMY is a must. J-Hope just released his album, Jack In The Box while RM said his album might be the next one!
