BTS share their love for “Friends”
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, BTS could not be physically present at the reunion. However, that did not stop the boy group from sending their love to the cast of “Friends.”
Seated on a sofa together, the group conveyed their love and appreciation through a 13-second video. They were introduced with the subtitle "BTS: Biggest Boy Band on the Planet," accompanied by a small South Korean flag. Namjoon, BTS' leader, shared that “Friends” played a huge role in his upbringing.
My mom bought me the DVDs of the whole series when I was in elementary school. ‘Friends’ really had a big hand in teaching me English and the show really taught me the things about life and true friendship.
The group concluded with the chant “We love Friends!”. Lest fans be disappointed by the briefness of the guest appearance, Ben Winston, who directed the reunion special, gave a heads up about BTS’ appearance.
Fans react to BTS’ guest appearance
While some ARMY proudly faunted the title given to BTS, some fans realized that the video had been shot over a year ago. ARMY were surprised that BTS, especially Namjoon, who is known as spoiler king, didn’t utter a single word about their appearance.
Meanwhile, BTS have finally unveiled their limited edition merchandise in collaboration with McDonalds. Preorders for the merchandise will be available from May 27th.
