Ansel Elgort is a well-known BTS fan. BTS has appeared frequently on the “Baby Driver” actor’s social media accounts.

The root of their friendship dates back to their encounter at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2017. The clip of Elgort filming BTS’ performance at last year’s American Music Awards while jamming out to the song went viral as well, with fans expressing enthusiastic support for the “bromance.”

The individual BTS bandmates have also formed cliques all their own.

V, who debuted as an actor in “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth,” has idol-turned-actor friends Park Hyung-sik of ZE:A and Yoona of Girls’ Generation.

Jimin is known as “K-pop’s ultimate insider.” He has befriended boy band colleagues such as Taemin of SHINee, Kai of EXO and Ha Sungwoon of Wanna One.

Jin has formed a gamer circle that calls themselves “We Are the Best Idols” with BTOB’s Seo Eunkwang, BAP’s Youngjae, Vixx’s Ken, JBJ’s Kwon Hyunbin and Wanna One’s Park Ji Hoon.

Jungkook is friends with idols who were born in the same year as him, 1997, some of whom are GOT7’s Yugyeom and Bam Bam, Seventeen’s Dokyum, Minkyu and The8 and NCT’s Jaehyun.

RM is on friendly terms with rapper Tiger JK, whom the BTS leader also named as his role model.

It seems like BTS members are quite the social butterflies, which actually makes perfect sense. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with these talented individuals?
