This isn’t the first time the Backstreet Boys have praised BTS. In 2018, Nick Carter revealed they are huge fans of the K-Pop group and learned a lot about BTS through their mutual friend and collaborator, Steve Aoki.

BTS and the Backstreet Boys met that same year at the Westwood One Backstage event ahead of the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
