The Grammy-nominated band has been engaging their fans, ARMY, in their many social projects for many years. In 2021, they performed a special version of their hit, Permission to Dance, at the UN headquarters in New York as the Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture.
Without a doubt, BTS has not only changed the music scene, but also the world. And it is precisely this story that they now want to continue writing together with Team Century. Hyundai sat down with the band to find out more about their greatest goal and what the Goal of the Century and their jersey number mean to them.
Let's make a pledge with BTS to heal the world and win a trip to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™!🌳 🏆

The Hyundai Goal of the Century Pledge brought to you by @Hyundai!
Jimin: I think the best goal will be scored at 2022 FIFA World Cup™. I'm so excited to see fantastic goals from 2022 FIFA World Cup™. Also, there were many meaningful goals at 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™.
Jin: For me, 2002 FIFA World Cup™ was really impressive, especially when Jung-Hwan Ahn scored a heading goal with memorable ceremony. That was the ‘real’ soccer for me as I couldn’t forget that scene although I was a little boy.
j-hope: As Korean, I can't forget 2002 FIFA World Cup™ really.
RM: I don’t want to be too obvious, but yes 2002 FIFA World Cup™ was also impressive especially Ji-sung Park's goal. The goal that he scored after trapping with his chest. Frankly speaking, I watched it too many times. As we were born in the 1990s, 2002 FIFA World Cup™ was definitely memorable for us.
SUGA: “BTS has become a member of Team Century to help achieve a sustainable world together with Hyundai and the whole world.”
Jin: “Creating a sustainable world is no longer just a task for any one person. It's the goal of the century that everyone can achieve in solidarity.”
Jimin: “We want to show you a lot more to achieve Goal of the Century with Hyundai and Team Century members, please look forward to what’s coming.”
j-hope: “Isn't that everyone's hope? Hope makes us dream, but these days, hope seems to be gradually losing its light around the world. Tomorrow's dream is often the driving force to live today. It is our Goal of the Century that allows future generations to dream and live today.”
RM: “I love growing plants. My goal of the century is to pass on the green forest, the environment, and the earth to the next generation. Just as I enjoy and take pleasure in the earth, I want to share beautiful nature with the next generation. That’s my Goal of the Century.”
V: “I’m excited with the idea of solidarity for sustainability which is the core of Hyundai’s FIFA World Cup™ campaign. When you think of FIFA World Cup™, solidarity comes to your mind as the whole world becomes one. So for this project, we’ll do our best to show and bring out BTS’s own unique solidarity.”
Jung Kook: “It’s an honor to join the meaningful project of Hyundai, and I’m excited to be teamed up with captain Gerrard. We’d like to play our roles to help people unite for the Goal of the Century, we’ll do our best! ”
Jimin: “The number 7 is the most important number for us as a group. Obviously, and firstly, because we are 7 members. But there is much more behind it. Each of us has his own unique strength. But these strengths only really become powerful when we put them together. That is also the reason why we have made it this far together – because each and every one of us has contributed all he can. That's why it was clear to us from the beginning that the 7 represents BTS like no other number.”
To this, Hyundai says: BTS - the pitch is yours.
In the coming months, BTS will be working on a music collaboration project for Hyundai's Goal of the Century.
