The 92nd Societas Koreana Lecture was held at the Press Center on August 8, 2022. The lecture was given by Professor Kim Gu-yong of Cheyney University of Pennsylvania on "BTS's Pandemic Hits and Their Discontents."

Professor Kim used hit songs of BTS released in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic to look into the messages contained in the music videos in the political and economic contexts. It allowed the participants to understand the impact of BTS on Western culture and the era of neoliberalism.

Participants, including ambassadors and diplomats stationed in Korea, shared various opinions through a question-and-answer session. The lecture will be posted on the Societas Koreana YouTube channel.
