BTS is no longer a foreign band you have to explain to your friends and family — it is becoming a household name. It is so commonly known that it appeared as a general knowledge question in Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati season 14. Indian BTS ARMY were as ecstatic as they were shocked to witness it.

On Wednesday, a fan shared a video of the Agneepath actor asking the question and wrote, “Woahoooo!! Question about BTS on KBC.” The question mentioned three BTS members Jin, Suga and J-Hope and asked which Asian country they’re from. The options were South Korea, Iran, Sri Lanka and Mongolia. The contestant immediately responded with A and Bachchan pointed out that there was a smile on her face before the options even appeared onscreen. The correct answer was worth INR 13,300.

Incredulous fans rushed to share their excitement on Twitter, exclaiming about this new milestone. This Twitter user channeled her full athletic capacity to film this.

Even parents of the ARMY know what’s up.

One fan was quick to set the record straight pointing out that BTS are global superstars and all the hype they receive is justified.

Coherence has left the chat.

BTS made their debut in 2013 and consists of seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. BTS has released nine studio albums over the span of their career. Their first Korean-language studio album was Dark & Wild followed by Wings (2016). BTS’ other albums include Love Yourself: Tear (2018), Love Yourself: Answer (2018), Map of the Soul: 7 (2020) and Proof (2022).

Fans will see BTS on Saturday as they are all set to hold a free concert in Busan as part of the World Expo 2030.
