In one of the rare moments, BTS, the South Korean boy band was surprised to see a fellow K-pop group in the past. During one of the music awards in Seoul, South Korea, popular band 'Stray Kids' received the newcomer's award. While the group moved from the seating area to the receiving area, all the other K-pop groups applauded the band.

The group received the award and began to give the thank you speech. The group leader Bang Chan took the initiative to give the speech in Korean. However, he quickly switched to thanking all the international fans in English. Bang Chan is originally from Australia and he has an Australian accent while speaking. He used the same accent while expressing his gratitude to international fans. However, his accent left BTS surprised.

All the while, a fan-recorded BTS’ reaction to Stray Kids’ speech. In the fancam, BTS looked flabbergasted and shocked while listening to Bang Chan switching his accent in a fraction of second. In the focus were BTS’ V, J-Hope, Suga and Jimin. As soon as Bang Chan started speaking, BTS’ J-Hope quickly turned to take a longer look. For a moment all four of them looked like they were in a still frame and not moving. All four of them were amused to hear him speak. Many fans thought it was interesting to see BTS 'adoring someone else when the whole world adores them’. At the back was RM, the leader, who is the key speaker in the group looking all relaxed while listening to Chan speak.
