Another music icon adds up to the list of names showing much love to the Big Hit Entertainment boy group, BTS, naming Paul McCartney as the latest.
Paul McCartney sees youth memories in BTS
Since the South Korean all-boy group became a phenomenon on the global music stage, many media sites and networks compare the influence of BTS to the power of the legendary boy band The Beatles. The 78-year-old member of the band, Paul McCartney, shares his sentiments towards the K-pop septet.
Media tags the BE curators as the "The Beatles of the 21st Century," so the interviewer at the podcast where Paul guested asked the legend enthralling questions about BTS.
"Seeing some young kids go through what we went through, BTS, the Korean guys, I like watching them," Paul said, as quoted by Allkpop. The musician's answer was when the Apple podcast interviewer asked him if he listens to a specific artist to date.
Paul then was very quick to carry on his answer by saying that he thinks The K-pop septet is "good"; however, he could not sing songs from them, but Paul confesses that he likes it.
"I've seen some young kids go through what we went through. BTS..yeah, i like watching them..i think they're good, y'know!"

With the recent confession of Paul on BTS, as per Nacionrex, fans bombard the social media accounts of the two artists, asking for collaboration. However, none of it gets a response from any of both parties.
