The official World Cup anthem was performed by the k-pop idol, Jungkook, who made history as the first Asian to ever do so. His performance was lauded for being respectful on social media platforms all around the world because it paid homage to earlier anthems sung by other artists.

On the other hand, BTS' eldest member Jin enlisted in the military earlier this month on December 13. Soon, other BTS members who will follow Jin will join the 18-month service. Depending on when each member completes their military service, BTS is anticipated to come back fully around 2025.
