BTS member RM has been appointed as an honorary ambassador for the defense ministry's war-remains excavation agency, officials said Thursday.
The ministry's Agency for KIA Recovery Identification (MAKRI) announced the appointment, citing the K-pop juggernaut's efforts to address social issues and help improve the country's stature.
MAKRI serves as the ministry's unit and is in charge of recovering and identifying the remains of soldiers killed during the 1950-53 Korean War.
"Considering that this is an important project for the nation, I will make efforts to promote the meaningful activities by the agency at home and abroad," RM was quoted as saying in a statement. (Yonhap)
