BTS are pretty much the biggest K-pop band going right now, selling five million albums worldwide and dominating social media.

While they’ve always been killing it in Korea, the seven-piece boyband have gained widespread international recognition over the past few months – performing at the American Music Awards, winning a Billboard Award, and even appearing on The Ellen Show.

And with new attention comes new celebrity fans.

There are countless stars who are as obsessed with RM, Jimin, J-Hope, Jungkook, V, Suga and Jin as we are – the latest of which is John Cena, who told us that he is all ready to join the BTS ARMY after listening to J-Hope’s mixtape.




So here are all the people John can expect to run into in the ARMY…

Steve Aoki

DJ Steve Aoki has been one of the biggest promoters of BTS in the States, posting numerous pictures of the boys on social media.

And in November 2017, Steve released the official Mic Drop Remix with BTS and Desiigner, which blew minds all across the fandom.

Aoki has teased there’s plenty more where that came from, too, saying: ‘That was the start. And now we got some new music coming out for 2018! So we got this remix to put out there, but now we have some more original music as well.’

Jared Leto

We think Jared signed himself up to the ARMY after seeing BTS perform at the AMAs last year.

After the group made their first US awards show performance with DNA, Jared was next on stage to present the next award. However, he seemed totally shellshocked by what he had just witnessed (weren’t we all).

The Suicide Squad actor said: ‘I need a moment to recover from that performance, that was incredible.’

Jared later tweeted a picture of his reaction, writing: ‘That look in my eyes is love for BTS.’

Charlie Puth

I really like BTS's music. — Charlie Puth (@charlieputh) March 25, 2017

Charlie and BTS started a friendship after Jungkook recorded a cover version of We Don’t Talk Anymore (with Jimin singing Selena Gomez’s part).

Charlie may have accidentally spelled Jungkook’s name as ‘Jungcook’, but they started trading compliments, with Charlie tweeting ‘I really like BTS’s music’ and BTS writing ‘We really like Charlie Puth’s music.’

And there’s rumours of a collaboration between the two after Charlie tweeted at the band to check their DMs.

Halsey

Halsey and BTS made friends at the Billboard Music Awards last May, and thankfully, their friendship has played out over social media.

In a super-sweet video, Halsey delivered a gift of churros to BTS, with the boyband completely losing it over the sugary treats.

BTS reciprocated by giving Halsey a box of Korean candy, with Halsey telling the band that she was cheering when they won the Top Social Artist Award.

Ansel Elgort

Baby Driver actor Ansel is basically the band’s biggest fanboy.



Ansel delivered the cutest moment of the AMAs when he was caught filming BTS’s performance with a huge smile on his face.

Since then, the actor has hung out with BTS in Seoul, allowing the band to listen to early versions of his new tracks.

Cute.

Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes also became an ARMY member after meeting BTS at the AMAs.

Speaking about the group, he said: ‘They were so sweet. They were probably the most beautiful guys I’ve ever seen in my life.’

And when asked whether he would collaborate with BTS, the There’s Nothing Holding Me Back singer said: ‘I think they’re incredible. Oh yeah, I would love to. I think that would be amazing.’

Us too, Shawn.

Charli XCX

first day as the newest member of @BTS_twt. love u guys ?????? pic.twitter.com/EyUOWxfBl5 — CHARLI XCX (@charli_xcx) August 14, 2017

Charli is known for her achingly cool music and out-there style, so we should have known she’d be a fan of BTS.

While the singer was performing in Korea, she met the idols and posed for a picture with them – announcing that she was the eighth member of the group.

Charli also retweeted an all-BTS version of her music video for Boys.
