Son Heung-min appeared at BTS's Los Angeles concert venue, where he took a commemorative photo backstage with all members. BTS (BTS: Jung-kook, Jimin, V, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga) held their performance there.

Son Heung-min, who plays for LAFC, visited the stage on the second day of the four-day-long BTS concert at SoFi Stadium on the 2nd. His face was captured on a large screen as he waved to the crowd, and after the show, he posed for photos with all members backstage.

RM posted the photo on his Instagram story on the 9th, and Jung-kook reshared it, sparking excitement among fans. The official account of LAFC, Son Heung-min's club, shared the meeting photo and posted an exclamation: "ICONIC."

Earlier, the U.S. daily USA Today reported on the 4th that Son Heung-min attended the concert and highlighted his close friendship with V. Last July, V left a birthday message for Son Heung-min, which Son Heung-min retweeted in response.

Fan reactions were also enthusiastic. On X (formerly Twitter), many posts expressed joy such as "Finally, a BTS two-shot with Heung-min," and one fan account cleverly noted the meeting of the seven-member BTS and Son Heung-min, who wears jersey No. 7, using the phrase "The 7s have met." The rare combination that delighted both domestic and international football fans and K-pop fans alike also added to the buzz.

Son Heung-min (33) left Tottenham Hotspur of England's Premier League after a decade-long career in August last year and made a surprise move to LAFC in Major League Soccer (MLS). At the time, his transfer fee was reported at $26.5 million (about 36.7 billion won), setting a record for the highest amount in MLS history, and his annual salary was said to be $8.7 million (about 12.1 billion won), second only to Lionel Messi across the entire league. Even after joining LAFC, he retained the symbolic jersey No. 7. Son Heung-min formed what is known as the "Heung-boo duo" with Denis Bouanga and delivered outstanding performances in the 2025 season, including six consecutive weeks of combined goals, leading his team to the playoffs quarterfinals. His achievements were featured in three of LAFC's selected "Top 10 Moments of the 2025 Season."

In its review of the SoFi Stadium concert, the prominent U.S. daily Los Angeles Times described BTS as "world-class pop artists" who do not need a separate award category.

BTS's Los Angeles concerts achieved sold-out status for all four previous shows. Across their entire North American tour, approximately 1.92 million fans attended 31 performances in 12 cities. At SoFi Stadium alone, they held eight total performances (with cumulative attendance of about 496,000), setting a record for the most performances at that venue.
