To most of her fans, there was nothing unexpected about the fashion-forward snaps. But eagle-eyed ARMYs quickly spotted a key clothing piece in the last photo: BT21 Tata socks.
At first, fans were excited to think that Rosalía might know BTS, even hoping for a collab between the esteemed artists.
ROSALIA IS ONE OF US, BTS STANS
we love to see it

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. In a video she uploaded to her Instagram story, Rosalía referred to the Tata and Mang socks as “otaku” gifts from Japan.
She doesn't seem to know what they are btw haha since she called them "otaku gifts" but yeah. Just informing 😅 pic.twitter.com/yNgy3ezkBO

Of course, fans were quick to comment on her Twitter post letting her know more about BT21 and BTS.

So, it’s possible Rosalía’s unknowing ARMY representation could’ve been the first step to her learning more about the group—and maybe an eventual collab.
Here are all the other cute members of BT21 that you will love Rosalia 💜💜😊 pic.twitter.com/ib77119gII

Of course, Rosalía isn’t the first non-Korean celeb to be spotted wearing BT21 merch. Actress Aubrey Miller and TV host Jimmy Fallon are just a few fans of the cute characters.
And, of course, many K-Pop idols have repped the line too—including BIGBANG’s T.O.P and ATEEZ’s Wooyoung.
