BTS Becomes The First K-Pop Idol Group To Completely Halt LAX

When BTS landed for the 2017 AMA, LAX, an already bustling airport, reached a fever pitch.

BTS practically closed down the airport.

 

There were fans inside.

There were fans outside.

Which was expected, as their previous visit to Las Vegas for the Billboards cleared showed BTS’s incredible popularity.

In an interview with Dispatch at the airport, BTS stated that they are thankful and excited.

“It’s a honor to be invited to the AMA. Our fans support us and are a source of strength.

We’ll return to Korea after we thoroughly enjoy our performance here.”
