BTS, with members Jung Kook, V, Jimin, Suga, RM, Jin and j-hope, saw a massive surge in their fandom as they released their album and went on a global tour.

After dropping an album Arirang, the boyband is looking forward to expand their influence as a new update shocked everyone.

It is reported that the musicians are confirmed to be performing at the FIFA World Cup halftime 2026 alongside Madonna and Shakira.

This will be their first time performing at the championship as a group, who recently completed their military service and hit the road together in 2026.

On the other hand, Shakira returned with a World Cup song that seemingly took inspiration from her 2010 hit track Waka Waka (This time for Africa) .

The band recently wrapped their performance in Mexico with sold out concerts. Those, who could not afford to get in, gathered at the National Palace to catch a glimpse of the group.

How many BTS fans came to the National Palace?

They were able to gather a crowd of 50,000 on a five-hour notice which left the Boy With Luv crooners shocked.

Before bidding farewell to the city, all the seven musicians were called to the terrace to address the audience who cheered loudly for them.
