올해 5월 31일에 열린 팬 EXPO에서 BTS 언급 부분

John Cena names BTS when asked for his favorite in K-Pop:

“I gotta speak truthfully and authentically, so j-hope is my guy, I don’t necessarily like k-pop, I gravitated towards BTS. And honestly it’s like amazing music, the dance routines are flawless, they look so beautiful…what I loved is people who looked and acted like they had it all, being open with their emotions, and telling other people to start practicing self-love, and that hit me at a time in my life when I needed to practice self-love, so like we hit it off on a personal level, and since then we’ve connected with each other, we’ve shot videos, I’ve seen them, I’ve never seen one of their shows, but I don’t wanna speak unauthentically and untruthfully — I rarely listen to music — but what BTS specifically did for me is they found me at a right time in my life to give me hope and inspiration through who they are as people. And that’s like hey you never know who you could reach, they reached a 48 year old dude who was struggling with self-worth, and I appreciate that.”
