Who’d have guessed that BTS’s RM is a lover of Daler Mehendi and Punjabi music? Although BTS hasn’t ever visited India, the popular band from South Korea has also always professed a wish to visit as well as encounter the country’s ARMY.
An old Rolling Stone India interview with the band has emerged on the internet, in which RM recounts how he used to listen to Punjabi tracks before he even became famous.
RM discusses the Punjabi songs that really are popular in South Korea in an interview from 2017.
“I believe Tunak Tunak Tun is the most well-known Indian song in Korea,” he told Rolling Stone India. “It’s quite well-known,” the rapper said. When I was 14 years old, I sang it as a middle school student.
RM also remarked that there have been glimpses of India within their writings as well as other locations, in addition to music.
“It’s well-known in this town. It’s in textbooks and fairy tales. So we have a lot of fantasies: mystery, Taj Mahal, gorgeous people “He went on to say.
BTS has stated a desire to come and play in India as recently as last year. BTS said during an interview with a local news channel, “If time passes and all of these wild events are completed, we want to be there to witness all of the troops in India and share this excitement, dance, as well as sing together. So we’d want to say namaste, to be present, and to simply offer our voices in person.”
“We’ve heard that the Indian Army has shown us a tremendous deal of love and support. We’d want to let them know that we’re looking forward to seeing you as well and that we hope there will be a day arrive soon “In the same interview, Suga stated.
