BTS members RM and j-hope attended a date on Chris Brown and Usher’s R&B stadium tour, appearing in a backstage photograph posted by Brown. The meeting drew attention because the pair are in the middle of BTS’s ARIRANG world tour and are due to perform at the same Toronto venue shortly afterwards.

Brown shared the image on Instagram on 12 August without explaining how the meeting came about. J-hope also posted clips of Usher performing “Yeah!” and of the BTS members dancing to Brown’s 2011 hit “Look At Me Now”; Brown’s Toronto shows were scheduled for 11 and 12 August, while BTS were set to play Rogers Stadium on 22 and 23 August.
