Meanwhile, at Picadilly Circus, London, an equally impressive sight was seen as ARMYs and locals gathered to watch a video of BTS lighting up the streets in purple in their Samsung commercial.
The release of Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip4 is also exceptional for BTS and ARMY as one of the four color choices of the smartphone is named 'Bora Purple,' which is inspired by BTS's signature phrase "Borahae (I purple you)." In addition to the Galaxy Z Flip4, the same day, the Samsung S22 and S22+ series were also launched in Bora Purple, you know!
Beautiful, isn't it, the atmosphere in New York City illuminated by BTS's purple color? So far, BTS is probably the first K-Pop artist to create a crowd like a concert at Times Square and Piccadilly Circus. This proves how significant BTS' influence is global.
