John Cena Reveals Why He Became a BTS Stan
John Cena spoke about why he decided to stan BTS while on the red carpet for his upcoming film, Bumblebee, at San Diego Comic Con.
Earlier this year he posted this picture of J-Hope under a different context.
Once his Instagram exploded with comments, he decided to look into them further.
“I’m a fan of fandom. That’s why I love places like Comic-Con. That’s why I love WWE. Because people show their passion. When I became aware of the BTS phenomenon, it hit me by storm. I listened to their music. I enjoy their music, but I really enjoy the following and the passion they create. I think that’s something special.”

He also admires how well BTS does their job, to take what was once considered a niche community and making it global.
“And especially for them to be the first to take K-pop and make it global, that truly is a testament to how well they do their job, So I’m just a fan of what they do and the passion that they evoke out of people. I think it’s really special.”

While doing business in China, he hopes to run into them too, but unfortunately BTS is embarking on their World Tour soon.
“I’m petitioning to be their secret bodyguard. I’m currently doing some business in China, and China’s really close to Korea, so you never know what can happen. I get closer to them, [but] I think they’re actually here in the States though. So we may be passing each other.”

John Cena’s bias still hasn’t changed though.
“J-Hope is my favorite, just because he’s got a little street cred like myself”
