Even Korea’s top celebrities couldn’t resist going full fan mode at BTS’ latest concert, as a wave of actors and entertainers were spotted cheering — and even snapping backstage photos with members — during the group’s world tour.
From April 9 to 12, BTS held three “ARIRANG” concerts at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province, drawing not only tens of thousands of fans but also a number of high-profile names whose posts quickly spread across social media.
Among them, Ha Ji-won drew particular attention after sharing a backstage photo with members V and Jung Kook. Smiling and posing together in what appeared to be a waiting room, the trio’s “three-shot” quickly became a talking point online.

“After the BTS concert with V and Jung Kook~ everything was truly cool and beautiful,” she wrote, adding in another post that “every single moment was perfect.”
Fans reacted with comments such as “She’s totally in fan mode” and “That three-shot is unreal,” highlighting how even veteran stars are not immune to BTS’ global appeal.
Actor Ko So-young also shared her own experience, turning the concert into a family outing. She attended the show with her husband, actor Jang Dong-gun, and their daughter, posting photos that included another backstage moment with V and Jung Kook.

“World-class really is different,” she wrote, while also sharing images of the packed stadium and the concert stage. In one photo, she captured her husband and daughter walking down the stairs with official light sticks in hand, underscoring the family’s shared excitement.

Meanwhile, comedian Park Mi-sun offered a more candid, emotional glimpse into the experience. Posting multiple photos and videos from the concert, she wrote, “I burned it all white… I guess I was ARMY,” using the fandom name for BTS supporters.

Dressed in purple, BTS’ signature color, she was seen waving a light stick and fully immersed in the performance, even capturing fireworks and crowd moments on video. She also shared a friendly snap taken outside the venue with actor Kim Jung-nan.
Park’s appearance drew additional attention as it comes after a recent health battle. She had paused activities last year due to illness, later revealed to be breast cancer, and only recently signaled a gradual return to broadcasting, saying she would “take things slowly.”
The string of celebrity sightings has sparked buzz online, with fans noting how BTS concerts have effectively become a meeting point not just for fans, but for stars themselves, blurring the line between audience and celebrity.
As posts continue to surface, one sentiment appears consistent: When it comes to BTS, even the biggest names turn into fans.
