Indian food has transcended boundaries and has gathered a global following. The immensely popular Korean boyband group- ‘BTS’ seem to agree too. The mega sensational K-Pop group are big foodies just like us. Earlier this year, they ventured their way into the fast-food world by collaborating with the burger giant McDonalds. Needless to say, their special limited edition 'BTS Meal' soon sold out in many countries, including India. Their latest track ‘Butter’ which has broken five different world records, crossing 100 million views in just 24 hours proves that they also take inspiration from food for their chartbuster songs.
Recently, another one of their videos went viral, which filled the Indian BTS fans with paroxysm of joy. The fans were quite happy to see their favorite boy band gorging upon the delightful dishes-'naan' and 'paneer'. Let’s look at a video which made the 'Indian-Army' go gaga.
The original video was initially posted around November 2019. This clip was shot when the BTS members had travelled to New Zealand for their reality show Bon Voyage season 4. During their stay, the boys were seen indulging in delicious Indian food. In one of the behind-the-scenes videos it is clearly seen that Jimin and Jungkook were enjoying a creamy gravy dish as part of their meal. From their adorable reactions it is quite perceptible that they enjoyed the dish wholeheartedly. While the duo seemed confused about the milky ‘tofu’ they were having, and almost believed that they were eating soft cheese. The eagle-eyed Indian fans quickly pointed out with joy that they were indeed enjoying one of the most popular delicacies from the Indian cuisine- ‘Paneer’. In another clip, BTS member J-Hope was seen carefully tearing up the naan with his hand and then dipping it into the curry before devouring it. Check it out here.
BTS has expressed their gratitude to Indian fans several times by saying they would surely come to India once everything gets back to normal. We can’t wait for them to enjoy more of our tantalizing dishes.
