In this mentioned clip, Johnson was asked about who would win in a fight between Black Adam and BTS. The Rock, knowing full well who was going to watch this video again and again, answered that he thinks BTS sweeps the floor easily. He even mentions the BTS ARMY, saying that in front of the power and love of the fans, his superpowers are nothing.
If you know anything about music, nationwide or international, you know who BTS is. The K-pop mega-group that took over the world in the mid-2010s and amassed one of the biggest fan bases in the world, that’s who. While they had a massive presence in music earlier, their interactions with other celebrities and sports people have grown enormously.
The newest addition to this interaction is none other than Dwayne Johnson. But don’t think that Johnson is the only WWE wrestler to show his love for BTS. The former WWE World Champion, John Cena, has also shown his love for BTS and their fans.
