BTS’s Jungkook Appears In Usher’s NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show Trailer
Previously, the NFL and Apple Music announced that American R&B singer, songwriter, and dancer Usher would headline the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Now, Usher has dropped a trailer for this year’s Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. He teased a performance “30 years in the making.”
The trailer opens with a church choir, paying homage to Usher’s music beginnings as he joined his local church youth choir, directed by his mother, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, when he was nine. The rest of the video cuts between footage of the choir, a school marching band, fans, TikToks, his performances, etc., with his hit song “Yeah! (ft. Lil Jon, Ludacris)” playing.
Right before the video cuts and reveals a final shot of Usher with text regarding the upcoming Halftime Show performance, a clip of BTS‘s Jungkook beside Usher is shown. Other celebrities featured include NBA star Lebron James and music artist J Balvin.
Recently, the two collaborated on a remix of Jungkook’s solo song “Standing Next to You” from the album GOLDEN.
In his Halftime Show trailer, Usher included a TikTok they filmed together on the set of the official performance video of “Standing Next to You.”
Netizens were excited to see Jungkook featured. We can only hope that Usher will include “Standing Next to You” in his historic performance at the Super Bowl.

Usher is clearly stating that he recognizes Jungkook as someone who is deserving of a spot with the heavyweights in the West. He said it when they did the video, he reinforced it when he added SNTY to his album and his label sent the song to radio.
