John Cena expresses love for BTS
Talking at 2025 Fan Expo, John Cena, when asked about his relation with K-pop.  Speaking about his love for BTS and how he felt a connection with their music, the former wrestler said, “J-hope is my guy. I don’t necessarily like K-Pop but I gravitated towards BTS. It`s amazing music, the dance routines are flawless, they look so beautiful. What I loved is people who looked and acted like they had it all, being open with their emotions and telling other people to start practicing self-love love. It hit me at a time I needed to practice self-love. We hit it off at a personal level. Since then we connected with each other, shot videos.”
