BTS is known to have a diverse fanbase, consisting of even the hottest celebrities, many of whom include superheroes.
Previously, Tom Holland and John Cena revealed they are ARMYs. Not to mention, BTS V‘s bestie, Park Seo Joon, is even in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Heck, BTS themselves are canon in the MCU.
Now, the latest Marvel star to reveal that he’s a BTS fan is none other than Tobagonian-Rwandan actor Winston Duke, known for portraying M’Baku in Black Panther.
Currently, Winston Duke is promoting his new action-comedy film The Fall Guy alongside Ryan Gosling.
During a recent interview, Duke was asked about how he listens to movie scores to get into character. He confirmed this but added that he has been listening to BTS lately.
Yup …#army https://t.co/h2v73sNIGy

Interviewer: I did learn one thing about you: You like to listen to music to get into character. Movie scores specifically…
Winston Duke: I love movie scores… I’ve actually been also listening to a lot of BTS recently.
Interviewer: I love BTS. Do you have a favorite BTS song at the moment?
Winston Duke: You know that song “Friends?” That’s like on repeat right now.
Naturally, he caught the attention of ARMYs as the clip went viral on social media. Winston Duke expressed his excitement for RM‘s upcoming album, too.
Shhh but I’m super excited for this release too! https://t.co/EQYgb0A7Du

His current favorite song is “FRI(END)S” by V, though.

Yet, his biases are RM and Jin… at least at this moment.
So, I love them all but RM & Jin are ranking as my favorite these days … #army https://t.co/7Zya1NzBWS

Like all of us, he is counting down the days to Jin’s return as well as RM’s comeback.
We’re all counting the days I imagine! https://t.co/1FxQKrQZo6

Hands down … Yun ft Erykah Badu by RM https://t.co/Jj0MPAHOWY

Well, I’d say
“somebody does love” by Agust D or “trivia seesaw” by suga https://t.co/aLTyPjhPgq
— Winston Duke (@Winston_Duke) May 6, 2024
Oooh that’s hard to choose, but if pressed, i’ll go with black swan … yea! https://t.co/Y2DXDBdSx0

He gave lots of recommendations! He is certainly a man of taste.
This is by no means exhaustive or meant to be a selection against my many other favorites from the discography but here’s what jumps to my mind:
Jin- Astronaut
Rm- yun
Suga- seesaw
Jhope – on the street ft. jcole
Jimin – Filter
V- fri(end)s
Jungkook – Seven https://t.co/vFQPfr2ObF— Winston Duke (@Winston_Duke) May 6, 2024
My recs for you @savage_esquire as a new listener and given your civil rights work:
1. baepsae/silver spoon by bts
2. all day by rm
3. ugh! by bts
4. yet to come by bts
5. Neuron by Jhope
6. Life goes on by bts https://t.co/6Em2hnXkL1— Winston Duke (@Winston_Duke) May 6, 2024
He even watches BTS’s variety show Run BTS!, and he has a favorite episode.
Hmmm, not gonna lie, I haven’t seen them all but the 77 minute debate one … when the members kept setting off the water cannons unintentionally … 😂 https://t.co/lKBQM5JGop

If there were any questions about his ARMY status, he even knew the difference between the various “Run BTS.”
lol that’s 3 different things: Run! Bts is their variety show … I’ve probably only seen a quarter of those. Run by BTS is a song about chasing the fleeting memories of one’s youth … it’s a vibe! Run BTS is a song about their hustle and determination for the past 7 yrs So, what I’m saying here is that each in their own right, stands on its own!
