John Cena expresses love for BTS


Talking at 2025 Fan Expo, John Cena, when asked about his relation with K-pop.  Speaking about his love for BTS and how he felt a connection with their music, the former wrestler said, “J-hope is my guy. I don’t necessarily like K-Pop but I gravitated towards BTS. It's amazing music, the dance routines are flawless, they look so beautiful. What I loved is people who looked and acted like they had it all, being open with their emotions and telling other people to start practicing self-love love. It hit me at a time I needed to practice self-love. We hit it off at a personal level. Since then we connected with each other, shot videos."



He further said what made him connect with the band on a personal level. "What BTS specifically did for me is they found me at the right time in my life to give me hope and inspiration through who they are as people. They reached a 48-year-old dude who was struggling with self-worth.”

We kept the promise and we stayed for the best moments that are yet to come." "30 more days baby," another comment reads. A third fan wrote, "GET MY MAN OUT OF THERE!"
