The Korean group has become a worldwide sensation, and it is not just because of their music anymore. The band, which consists of Suga, Jin, J Hope, RM, Jimin, Jungkook and V, gave a speech at the UN General Assembly 2021 and performed their song Permission to Dance. BTS ARMY went haywire as they flooded the internet with purple hearts to show support to the group.
Meanwhile, James Gunn said that Peacemaker’s soundtrack was the one he is most excited about after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.1, at the panel at TCA21.

It is understandable why John Cena would listen to BTS. The band has broken several records through their hit songs and albums. Their song ‘Butter’ broke five Guinness World Records alone, while the group entered the Guinness World Records 2022 Hall of Fame with 23 records.
