BTS have enjoyed a meteoric rise since forming in 2013.
The group – consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook – had to add an extra date to the UK leg of their world tour this month after their first Wembley Stadium appearance sold out in hours. The band will play in the capital on June 1 and 2 this year.
Last year, they became the first K-pop group to enter the top 40 of the UK singles chart after their song Idol landed at number 21.
