Zakir Khan recalls unknowingly meeting BTS in Korea \u2014 and mistaking them for backstage staff.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Imagine being in a room with one of the biggest music groups in the world \u2014 and not recognising them. That\u2019s exactly what happened to Indian comedian Zakir Khan, who unknowingly spent time with the members of BTS during a visit to South Korea.<\/p>\n

Sharing the hilarious story in a recent chat with The Lallantop, Zakir said he had travelled to Korea for an event where a top celebrity was scheduled to appear. Coincidentally, the global K\u2011pop group BTS was also there to meet the same celebrity. But Zakir, who admits he tends to overthink things, didn\u2019t quite put the pieces together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI happened to go to Korea once, and there is a very famous band there by the name of BTS. I knew there is a band called BTS and I also know that they are famous. And by chance I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person,” he said.<\/p>\n

Because he arrived late, Zakir was grouped with the BTS members in the final entry batch. \u201cSo I asked one of the members, \u2018Who are you and where are you from\u2019, and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team,” he added.<\/p>\n

He remained blissfully unaware until later. \u201cI was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 35 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted.”<\/p>\n

The band \u2014 Jin, Suga, J\u2011Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook \u2014 has since returned from military service and resumed solo activities, with fans eagerly following every move.<\/p>\n
