Jonas Brothers are one of the most iconic and successful αмєяι¢αn pop groups of the past two decades. The trio of brothers — Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas — were once a global phenomenon during the Disney Channel era with a string of нιт songs such as Burnin’ Up, Lovebug, Sucker, as well as the hugely popular musical film Camp Rock.
During their peak from around 2007 to 2010, Jonas Brothers had enormous global popularity, selling millions of albums while their arena and stadium concerts consistently sold out. They also achieved three Billboard 200 No.1 albums: A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), and Happiness Begins (2019). Jonas Brothers are widely regarded as one of the most influential boy bands in αмєяι¢αn pop music during the late 2000s.
After many years in the industry, although they are no longer in their era of absolute domination, Jonas Brothers still remain A-list stars with strong influence in the United States thanks to a loyal multi-generational fanbase. Interestingly, despite being globally famous legends themselves, Jonas Brothers are not immune to admiring кσяєαn idols — namely BTS. And their affection for BTS was recently displayed directly during their concert on May 23.
Specifically, Jonas Brothers are currently holding performances at Dolby Live in Las Vegas as part of their “Greetings From Las Vegas” residency. Coincidentally, the final show of their residency took place on the exact same day as BTS’s opening night for their four-show “World Tour ARIRANG In Las Vegas” concert series. Because of that, during a fan interaction segment on the evening of May 23, Jonas Brothers suddenly introduced themselves by joking: “We are BTS, let’s have some fun.”
The joke immediately made the au∂ιєnce burst into laughter and quickly went viral across social media. Many ARMYs were especially excited to see a legendary αмєяι¢αn pop group casually mention BTS so naturally — almost as if they were proudly announcing to everyone that BTS had arrived in Las Vegas during their own concert.
In reality, this is far from the first time Jonas Brothers have shown major love for BTS. Last December, during an interview, the members shared excitement that rivaled even the fans themselves regarding BTS’s full-group comeback following military service. Nick Jonas excitedly said: “Of course, BTS. We love [them]. Looking forward to the comeback of the century.” Meanwhile, Kevin Jonas humorously added: “Cannot wait. It's gonna be like, no one else should release music for like a year.”
Jonas Brothers have also openly admired BTS for many years. Back in 2019, while promoting the Sucker music video, the group participated in an interview where they were asked whether they knew BTS. All three immediately answered, “Of course!” and shared that they genuinely loved the кσяєαn group. They also mentioned that their admiration for K-pop had inspired them to create a similarly styled music video.
That same year, Teen Vogue reported that members of Jonas Brothers were seen briefly chatting with BTS at the Billboard Music Awards 2019 while returning to their seats. Even more notably, when BTS held their concert at Rose Bowl Stadium in 2019, the Jonas Brothers members attended the show in person. They even filmed videos, posted them on Instagram, and expressed excitement no differently from actual fans.
Now, another moment proving that these music legends genuinely admire and support the K-pop superstars has been added to the collection, leaving ARMYs feeling incredibly proud. Some fans are even speculating that during BTS’s remaining three concert nights, if their schedules allow, Jonas Brothers may possibly appear in the au∂ιєnce seats themselves:
- And this is how artists are to act...supporting each other. I have so much respect for Jonas Brothers for being so kind to BTS. I will always support Jonas brothers because of that support
- Mmnnnhhh seems like he watched bts live concerts multiple times cuz i remember these exact lines
- My childhood crush mentions my current crush, that's sweeett
- Nick always talks about BTS. I love Jonas Brother so much … they are such funny and very good band
- They all are essentially in BTS LAND RN. But sweet guys! This is how secure artists act
- This is so sweet. Imagine traveling to perform in a city, only to find the entire place completely decked out for another artist's concert. The Las Vegas Sphere, the trains
- Legends are never worried about being replaced or overshadowed; they even support their peers and the younger generation, and that only further highlights their status
- Aw lol they’ve always been so supportive and said nice things about bts for years !
- They’re hilarious. Please tell me they will see BTS concert. I need that.
- They’re witnessing “The Comeback of the Century” (you were so right Nick)
- Once again this is a reminder that the hate trains and нιт tweets stay inside twitter bubble only meanwhile bts are one of the biggest artists in the world right now and most gp knows them and everyone IS a fan at the end of the day
- They probably saw the whole Las Vegas turned into Borahaegas with bts faces all over the city
