Over 60,000 BTS fans in Saudi Arabia - aka Saudi ARMY - gathered at the King Fahd International Stadium earlier this month to watch the famous South Korean boy band >shine on stage.
But little did the army know they'd be clowned for failing to do the wave in unison. In a video that's been circulating online, singer Park Ji-min, better known as Jimin, can be heard saying the "ocean wave" was something incredibly hard to teach overseas and then proceeded to act it out to - what is assumed to be - a Korean crowd. People have been sharing the video on Twitter as though they're sure it was a clap-back at Saudi fans' failed attempt.
BTS, the famous South Korean boy band, became the first foreign artists to play a "solo stadium show" in Saudi Arabia on Oct. 11. The seven-member band arranged for free shuttle buses, allowing fans to commute from the city to the stadium. They even uttered a few Arabic phrases in the midst of their performance. The band members were >treated like royalty, so they probably had a delight in the kingdom, but that doesn't mean "clowning" the Saudi ARMY was off-limits.
