Group BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) and actor Jung Ho-yeon completely dominated the 2026 FIFA North America World Cup final amid cheers from people around the world.

On the 20th (Korean time), the final match between Spain and Argentina was held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA.

The spectacular opening of the final that day was kicked off by Jung Ho-yeon, who made a mark with the Netflix series 'Squid Game'. Ahead of the match kickoff, he appeared alongside Carlos Alcaraz, Spain's world-renowned tennis star, at an event unveiling the championship trophy, drawing widespread attention.

As Jung Ho-yeon currently serves as an ambassador for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton, the two presented the Louis Vuitton trophy trunk case in which the FIFA World Cup championship trophy is stored, signaling the start of the final.

BTS appeared as the second performer at the final halftime show, standing shoulder to shoulder with pop stars Madonna, Shakira, and Justin Bieber. Although Jungkook previously shone on the stage of the 2022 Qatar World Cup opening ceremony, this marks the first time the full group BTS has taken the World Cup stage together.

The opening was decorated by 'Queen of Pop' Madonna, with Brazilian legendary football players Ronaldinho and Ronaldo appearing together on stage.

BTS took over from Madonna's baton and performed 'Dynamite'. As Jungkook and V began the intro, followed by Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jin, and Jimin in sequence, the massive crowd responded with cheers.

The members wore outfits combining red, black, and white, radiating dynamic energy. They also did not forget to wear patches featuring the 'Red Devils'. Most notably, their powerful group choreography with dozens of dancers was enough to instantly transform the stadium into a festival scene.

Following that, Justin Bieber, holding a guitar, sang 'EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH', and Shakira continued the lively atmosphere with 'Dai Dai'.

Meanwhile, this is the first time in World Cup history since its inception in 1930 that a performance has taken place during a match, curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin. The final ended with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 to claim the championship.
