On March 25, BTS’ j-hope featured in a gwang series interview uploaded on YouTube. During the segment, the host Kany Diabaté asked him about a dream stage. The K-pop idol, in reply, mentioned the Super Bowl. He wondered out loud what performing there would feel like. Diabaté, building on the answer, addressed the NFL directly.
“Super bowl people! NFL whatever, you have to call BTS call them for the next one 2027,” she stated.
In response, Hobi acknowledged it, saying it felt as if the host was speaking for him, which, in that moment, “feels nice.” Fans are reacting to this brief exchange.
“Get ready NFL,” an X user commented.
Fans are tagging the official NFL account on X, asking them to make it happen.
Meanwhile, others believe it’s sooner than expected, with many saying it could be a “spoiler” as well.
BTS Super Bowl talk linked to past NFL moments
In 2022, Min Yoongi addressed the idea of a Super Bowl stage on Weverse. He noted that performing there would be something to consider, yet the final call depends on an official invitation.
“Do I want to perform at the Super Bowl next year? I’d like to, but we’ll have to be invited… We can’t do it just because we want to,” yoongi stated.
At the same time, his sports involvement appears more defined elsewhere. He has attended several NBA games, and in 2023, he was introduced as an NBA ambassador. Alongside that, he has spoken about preferring underdog teams, including the Portland Trail Blazers, while also mentioning Damian Lillard as a player he follows.
Meanwhile, a separate moment connected BTS to an NFL setting earlier on. In October 2022, j-hope shared a birthday post for Park Jimin, which included a photo taken inside the locker room of the Las Vegas Raiders. The image, as a result, circulated widely across fan spaces, drawing attention to the group’s presence in a venue typically associated with professional football.
The photo, in turn, traced back to BTS’ Las Vegas stop during the Permission to Dance On Stage tour earlier that year. The group held four sold-out shows at Allegiant Stadium, which serves as the Raiders’ home ground. During those dates, the stadium shifted from a football venue to a concert setting, hosting large audiences each night. In the shared frame, Jimin was seated near a locker, with a Raiders jersey placed behind him.
BTS recently released ARIRANG and is currently promoting the album. A documentary will be released next, followed by their world tour starting in April.
