Global sensations BTS have made history as they become the first ever South Korean group to headline at Wembley Stadium. With two sold-out nights at the venue, the band's fan base is for sure growing daily.

The seven-man band took to the stage on Saturday night (1st June) to delight 60,000 fans with a whopping 24 songs. They even paid tribute to the late Freddie Mercury, with band member Jin leading the crowd in a version of the Queen legend's 'ay-oh' chant.

Fellow member Kim Nam-joon, commonly known as RM, shared the boys' joy with their fans, saying, "You guys always had the greatest artists, historically, in the music industry - The Beatles, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Adele. We don't even have to make a list."

He continued, "So the UK was like the big, big wall to me. But tonight we, and you guys, just broke the wall."
