BTS eat bibimbap on the Spotify plaque

While the concert was a success, BTS is not stopping anytime soon, as the members just recorded 1 billion streams on Spotify for their 2020 all-English single ‘Dynamite’. Celebrating the record in the most BTS way possible, the boy group went on to assemble an iconic Korean dish on the plaque and sat together to eat from it.
