BTS has inspired many fans all over the world. As a matter of fact, the avid followers of Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, J-Hope, V, Suga, and RM have influenced their devoted supporters to initiate humanitarian efforts and donate to charities. Surprisingly, it turned out the South Korean boyband is also being appreciated by other celebrities and sports figures.
Recently, another big name has been added to the long list of people who admire BTS. The popular South Korean football player Son Heung Min admitted that he is a fan of BTS. The athlete, who is being considered a global superstar in the field of football, has acknowledged that Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, J-Hope, V, Suga, and RM are the most famous personalities in South Korea.
The professional athlete made the statement after he was asked what it feels like to be one of the most popular people in the country. Son Heung Min shared he never considered himself famous despite many considering him a football superstar.
Instead of getting flattered by the interviewer's statement, Son Heung Min stated that BTS is actually among, if not the most, the famous South Korean celebrities today. He even said that Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, J-Hope, V, Suga, and RM are "massive" and then revealed that he is a huge fan of the "Dynamite" hitmakers.
