Will Becky G perform with BTS? Big Hit releases New Year concert lineup, fans say she 'deserves to be on list'

Becky G and BTS share an endearing friendship ever since J-hope aka Hoseok collaborated with her in the iconic ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ song

Big Hit Entertainment has announced a brand new lineup for their 2021 New Year’s live concert presented by Weverse and fans are wondering if Becky G would also join BTS for their live performance. The latest lineup includes special stages with Halsey, Lau, Steve Aoki and Shin Hae Chul, where the singers will be connected virtually in the live concert.

Becky G and BTS share an endearing friendship where BTS member J-hope aka Hoseok collaborated with her in the iconic ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’. The song peaked at number one in the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart along with ranking 81 in Billboard Hot 100. Since then, Becky G has always spoken fondly of BTS members and Hoseok has also spoken about how friendly Becky G was during the shoot on the latest anniversary of the song.

Now as the Big Hit New Year’s live concert includes a number of artistes that BTS have collaborated with, fans are asking, where is Becky G? A fan posted, “NAH WHERE’S BECKY G.” Another speculated, “Those asking about Max and Becky G, they're probably not included because the collabs were for solo work. Halsey did BWL. Steve Aoki has Mic Drop & Lauv got Make It Right.”

A fan shared, “So Halsey (BWL and Suga's Interlude) Steve Aoki (Mic Drop and The Truth Untold) and Lauv (Who with Jimin and Kook).... I just need Becky G, IU, Younha and Max in that list to feel satisfied.” Another said, “SO IT WASNT BECKY G??2!&3&2 I FEEL HURT AND BETRAYED.”

Another noted that this seems like a missed opportunity which could have been an iconic 'Chicken Noodle Soup' performance. A tweet read, “we could’ve had Becky g and hobi performing CNS bruh why am I SO SALTY rn.”

A similar post said, “Becky g deserves to be on that set list !!!!! I want her not the other girl :/ We could’ve had Hobi and Becky g CNS and possibly a dance break too !!! It’s a loss for Latin army :(“ An optimistic army asked, “So um @bts_bighit when are y’all gonna announce Becky G as a special guest at NYEL?”

'Chicken Noodle Soup' also turned out to be a viral video challenge started off by the 'Hope World' rapper himself and BTS members Jimin, V and Jungkook were also seen participating in it with the rest of the world. The music video of 'Chicken Noodle Soup' currently has more than 210 million views on YouTube.
