It is no secret that even the general public is turning into BTS fans at a rapid rate. After the global K-pop group was invited to the Grammys and was set to have four solo concerts at the biggest stadium in Las Vegas, the city turned into ‘Borahaegas’ as it bathed its strips and hotels with purple light, BTS’ official color. We also have McDonald’s hinting at the return of the BTS meal which broke the Internet back in 2021 and became one of the most profitable and sold-out meals of the fast-food chain. And now airports all over the world are showing their love.

On April 28, ARMY was confused as several official Twitter accounts of airports all over the world started tweeting about BTS, their lyrics and the color purple.
