BTS to make special appearance on 'FRIENDS: The Reunion', here's how ARMYs reacted

It is a double delight for K-pop and 'Friends' fans across the globe and a cross-over that we did not see coming. The highly-anticipated 'Friends Reunion' episode is set to feature the global boy band sensation, HBO Max confirmed on its Twitter. The 'Friends: The Reunion' which is slated to air on May 27 is filled with a star-studded guest list and among them are BTS, which is although said to have a short appearance, but has left fans more than excited.

For the unversed, the boyband's leader Kim Namjoon who goes by the stage name 'RM' had learnt English by watching re-runs of the infamous American sitcom on DVDs that were gifted to him by his mom. And now, decades down the line, he along with other members of BTS will feature on the 'Friends Reunion' episode, in what can be seen as a crazy but happy coincidence. 

"I want to manage your expectations on this - it’s a really short moment from BTS. They are great of course, but they are one of the interviews, talking briefly about why they like friends," shared 'Friends' producer Ben Winston.
