John Cena is one of the world’s most famous wrestlers, as well as a Hollywood actor.

And now, he can add another thing to his ever-growing CV – official member of the BTS ARMY.

The 40-year-old had everyone convinced that he was a secret K-pop fan after he uploaded pictures of Supreme Boi and BTS’s J-Hope to his Instagram account.

However, John shares pictures to Instagram without any captions or hashtags, with his bio reading: ‘These images will be posted without explanation, for your interpretation. Enjoy.’


We've just been talking to the legendary @JohnCena for his new movie Blockers – and he told us he's down to be part of the @BTS_twt #ARMY! pic.twitter.com/1CLCiuDt6H — Metro Entertainment (@Metro_Ents) March 14, 2018

So when we met John as he promoted his upcoming comedy Blockers, we had to ask him – do these pictures mean he’s part of the ARMY?



Speaking to Metro.co.uk, John laughed: ‘See, if I were to explain, that would defeat the purpose! Although I will say, Base Line is my favourite track on the J-Hope mixtape. I also like Hangsang.

‘What started as a happy accident has turned into something wonderful. I’ve been introduced to a new piece of culture, which I think is fantastic, because I’m learning through social media.’

John continued: ‘It’s a very rare occurrence, so I’m very happy to say… yeah, screw it, I’m in.’

And judging by his love of the Hixtape and his J-Hope picture uploads, we’re guessing we know John’s favourite member of BTS.

Cena – who is preparing to clash with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 34 – stars in Blockers as Mitchell, a devoted dad who, along with two other parents (played by Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz), attempts to stop his daughter from losing her virginity on prom night.

Blockers is in UK cinemas Friday 30 March.
