SEVENTEEN's Joshua to speak at UNESCO youth event in Paris

SEVENTEEN member Joshua is set to address attendees at a UNESCO ceremony in Paris later this month. Pledis Entertainment confirmed the appearance on June 16, highlighting his role as a Goodwill Ambassador for Youth.

Joshua will take the podium during the June 25 event titled “UNESCO x SEVENTEEN: Celebrating Youth, Creativity and Well-Being Together” at UNESCO Headquarters.

The appearance supports the ongoing “Going Together – For Youth Creativity & Well Being” program, a collaboration between the group and UNESCO that focuses on youth projects in music, art, sports, and mental health.

High-profile guests including UNESCO Director General Khaled El-Enany are also expected at the Paris gathering.
