From BTS to Son Heung-min to EJAE, here's a recap of Korean cultural moments from the World Cup—including one of the biggest public outcries in Korean soccer history.

Shakira, Justin Bieber, BTS, Madonna and more are set to perform in the first ever World Cup halftime show during the final match between Argentina and Spain.

BTS comes from the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts." However, BTS said in 2017 that it would also extend its branding so BTS could mean "Beyond the Scene" as the band started to gain popularity outside of the Korean market.

The song is the second single from the group's Billboard 200-topping album, ARIRANG.

IShowSpeed has reached another huge milestone on social media. His Instagram Reel of meeting BTS at the FIFA World Cup 2026 final has become the most-viewed Reel in its first 24 hours.

This co-branded collection, featuring a Makeup Fixer and Prep Primer, will be available for pre-order via Weverse Shop from July 27-31.

BTS member V is once again making waves online after sharing a short but eye-catching dance performance filmed in Paris. The 28-second TikTok video quickly became a global hit, collecting 9.7 million views within just 21 hours while BTS prepared to perform at Stade de France for the final European stops of their "ARIRANG" world tour.

V said he wants to visit India while also speaking about food and tourist attractions in Pakistan and Bangladesh
