BTS are now clearly the biggest K-pop superstars in the world, and there is hardly any newer-generation idol group that does not admire them or see them as role models. Especially for HYBE’s younger artists, this naturally applies even more because they share the same label and are BTS’s direct juniors. Artists like CORTIS Martin and Huh Yunjin have openly shared in interviews that BTS’s success inspired them to pursue their idol dreams and strive to become successful like the group.

During BTS’s three-day concert series in Goyang last month, most of their HYBE junior artists — including TXT, LE SSERAFIM, CORTIS, ENHYPEN, and TWS — were spotted in the au∂ιєnce. Even &TEAM attended BTS’s concert in נαραи. All of them wore new merchandise from the ARIRANG World Tour collection, held ARMY Bombs, pαѕѕionately joined the fanchants, and could not hide their happiness and excitement.

But when it comes to being so emotional that he burst into tears, perhaps Kauê from SANTOS BRAVOS became the very first one to do so!

Recently, SANTOS BRAVOS’s official social media account uploaded a vlog showing the members attending BTS’s day 3 concert in мєχι¢σ City. In one behind-the-scenes moment, Kauê was seen crying uncontrollably to the point that the other members had to comfort him. Kauê shared that seeing BTS in person, specially right in front of him in мєχι¢σ carried a deeply special meaning for him.

The young idol has actually been a BTS fan since 2014 — back when the group was still in the early stages of their career and he himself was just a little kid. Twelve years later, BTS have now become global superstars loved by millions around the world, performing in stadiums filled with 50,000 fans every night, while Kauê has also achieved his dream of becoming an idol. Not only that, he is now under the same label as his idols and even had the opportunity to attend their concert in person.

Other moments in the vlog also showed him expressing overwhelming excitement just like any loyal ARMY would. He screamed loudly, danced along to the music, and could not take his eyes off the stage while BTS were performing.

After the concert, Kauê also posted a heartfelt message that moved many fans: “We met the BTS boys tonight. And all I can think about is that little boy who, a long time ago, was told he would never meet his greatest idols because they were too ‘far away.’ Please, DUAL, believe in your dreams and fιgнт hard for them. Just like me, you can make them come true too.” Along with the post, he attached an old childhood photo of himself wearing an early-era BTS logo shirt, proudly confirming his long-time ARMY identity.

On the other hand, this was not the first time Kauê showed his deep and long-lasting love for BTS. Previously, when SANTOS BRAVOS attended BTS’s concert in Goyang, he became emotional in a similar way. That moment even turned into a famous meme within the fandom, and the SANTOS BRAVOS members later printed the meme photo onto handheld banners and brought them to BTS’s мєχι¢σ day 3 concert to cheer for the group.

Kauê and SANTOS BRAVOS have also repeatedly mentioned BTS as the biggest inspiration behind their artistic journey during interviews. The young idol once shyly revealed that he would love to collaborate with j-hope if he ever had the opportunity in the future.

In the end, many ARMYs who watched Kauê’s reaction immediately sympathized with him, pointing out that countless fans attending the concert probably felt exactly the same way. But what moved people even more was the fact that even after an entire decade had pαѕѕed, Kauê still held onto the same sincerity and emotions of an ARMY from the very beginning. Fans commented:

- How sweet, he really deserved it, I think he's one of the few artists where you can tell they're genuine fans

- I did shed a tear seeing him like that. It fills me with happiness. How beautiful that he fulfilled his dream

- God, I just imagined myself meeting Bangtan in private, especially my muse j-hope, and being able to tell him how much he has inspired me in life and dance. Because of him, I keep dancing every single second
