BTS will be speaking at the launch of Generation Unlimited, a new partnership to promote education, training and employment for the world's youth, said a UNICEF spokesperson.
Among South Korea's best known and most lucrative musical exports, BTS made music history this year by becoming the first K-Pop group to top the Billboard 200 music charts.
The septet will bring its Love Yourself tour to New York for a series of concerts next week including its first stadium performance.
World leaders on Tuesday will begin six days of high-level debate at the General Assembly during which, the new thaw in relations on the Korean peninsula will be a top agenda item.
