Ansel Elgort is currently in Korea to promote his latest movie Baby Driver but has been unable to resist gushing about his love for K-Pop and BTS.
At the Baby Driver press conference, he spoke about his previous visits to Korea why he loves K-Pop.
“K-Pop is really creative.
I really like Korean Music.
I met BTS at the BBMAs and we still keep in touch.”
— Ansel Elgort
In fact, Ansel is so close with BTS he was actually able to meet them while he was in Korea!
Excited to see you guys tomorrow @BTS_twt 🇰🇷💪

Also in the press conference, he explained that his movie actually holds some similarities to K-Pop, particularly in their flashy music videos!
“This movie (Baby Driver) is like a music video. If you like BTS’s MVs, you’ll like our movie.”
— Ansel Elgort
UPDATE:
Now he’s actually met them and it was as awesome as you expect.
