Will K-pop phenomenon BTS walk in the footsteps of legendary English band The Beatles?
The Beatles Story, a Liverpool-based museum devoted to the iconic band from the 1960s, has extended an invitation to the K-pop act when they visit England in June, media reports said.
Founded in 1990, the museum is the world’s largest permanent exhibition dedicated to The Beatles. The museum said it had offered BTS a VIP tour of the exhibition and asked them to perform at the venue.
On the show, the BTS members channelled the pop legends by wearing black-and-white suits just like The Beatles did in 1964, when the group first appeared on the American programme The Ed Sullivan Show, filmed on the same stage as the Late Show is now. BTS even performed an impromptu rendition of the popular Beatles song Hey Jude.
