The group BTS and Hollywood actor Tom Cruise met.

RM, the leader of BTS, posted a photo on his social media on July 20 with the caption "King". The released photo is a group shot of all BTS members and actor Tom Cruise together.

In the photo, Tom Cruise is positioned in the middle of the BTS members, blending in naturally as if he had always been part of the team, while wearing his signature bright smile.

They met at the World Cup. BTS took the stage that day as a headliner for the halftime show at the final of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup, held at New York New Jersey Stadium in New York, New Jersey, USA.

This performance drew explosive attention from soccer fans and music fans around the world as the first-ever attempt in World Cup history at a "final halftime show." BTS joined global pop stars who have defined their eras, including Madonna, Shakira, and Justin Bieber, as headliners and heated up the massive stadium.
