BTS’s Jungkook Proves His Global Icon Status By Making ARMYs Out Of Football Fans

BTS‘s Jungkook made many people proud with his historic opening act at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He not only had ARMYs and his members gushing over him, but football fans too!

It’s not really a surprise, considering how impressive his performance was. Even when faced with unexpected technical difficulties, with his insane talent and professionalism, Jungkook still managed to deliver a perfect show!

Yet, he was piquing football fans’ interest before he ever even performed at the opening ceremony. ARMYs noted that many football fans were lavishing praise on Jungkook’s World Cup song, “Dreamers.”

The positive feedback from football fans and locals of Jungkook’s song dreamers is making me proud and happy. They said this is a real FIFA song and continued to praise his voice and the meaning of the song. pic.twitter.com/IbeRo1ftND

After his incredible opening act, gaining even more fans among the football community seemed inevitable. While many ARMYs were hilariously upset at the fact that World Cup attendees saw Jungkook live before they did…
