The team overseeing the handover of the position and the ceremony even made a visit to HYBE on April 2, 2022, surprising the public. The visit was publicized, raising suspicion as to if BTS or a HYBE artist would be making an appearance. During the visit, Ahn Cheol Soo, a member of the transition committee held discussions with the company regarding a variety of issues.

This is not the first time that BTS has created ties with the Blue House. They were previously elected as special envoys by the previous president, Moon Jae In. It would certainly be an honor for BTS to perform at the inauguration ceremony! Stay tuned for updates.
