Maisie Williams is a fairly well-known British actress who made her debut at a young age in 2011 with the role of Arya Stark in the нιт television series Game of Thrones—a role that helped her gain global recognition. Beyond this blockbuster series, she has appeared in several television and film projects such as Doctor Who, Cyberвυℓℓу, iBoy, Two Weeks to Live, and The New Mutants.
Despite still being quite young, Maisie Williams has received numerous major nominations and awards in television. These include two nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in the αмєяι¢αn television industry, multiple nominations for Best Supporting Actress, and one Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor (2015) for Game of Thrones, along with two Portal Awards, among others.
She may not be a typical A-list Hollywood superstar like some major film stars, but in the television world she is widely considered both successful and influential, especially among younger au∂ιєnces.
While the British actress has hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, she herself is also a true fangirl of BTS. Back in 2018, she revealed this side of herself when she joined the “Idol Challenge” started by Jungkook, Jimin, and j-hope on Twitter by posting a string of heart emojis. She later confirmed it by replying: "Yes, I stan BTS for life" when an ARMY asked her, "Maisie, are you a 'stan' of BTS? I want to know because I love this group."
Interestingly, in an interview with British GQ, Williams admitted that she does not run any BTS stan account. However, she did reveal that she had seen the group perform live before the ¢σνι∂-19 pandemic. She did not specify which concert she attended, but it may have been BTS’s Love Yourself World Tour show in London, as she mentioned that Jungkook was unable to dance during that performance.
“I got to see them right before the lockdown", she said. "It was amazing, but Jungkook, his knee was ȟɥȑț, and he’s my favorite, so I didn’t get to see him dance in real life. If they do another tour, then I will see him then.” Importantly, this comment also revealed that Maisie Williams’s bias in BTS is the Golden Maknae, Jungkook, which thrilled fans online.
Many fans took to social media to express their excitement: "Jungkook girls unmatchable just like the king. But everyone, please fall in line", "Beautiful people knows Beautiful things. The whole world recognizes Jungkookie", "Why is every beautiful celebrity a Jungkook girl. The power this man holds is insane", "Her fangirl energy is so cute", "The list of Jungkook’s celebrity fans just keeps getting longer… global it boy indeed",...
Meanwhile others said they could understand Williams’s disappointment at мιѕѕιиg the chance to see her favorite idol perform at his full potential on stage that year. At the same time, her promise that she would “see him on the next tour” is not just a personal wish, but also echoes the feelings of millions of fans who are waiting for BTS to reunite on the global stage.
This June, Maisie Williams—and many fans in London—will have the chance to see BTS again during their two shows on June 6 and June 7 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where she will surely be able to watch her bias perform his energetic choreography under the stadium lights.
