It’s official: BTS‘ Jung Kook will be taking centre stage at the 2022 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Qatar on November 20. The K-pop icon will also collaborate on the World Cup soundtrack, which was announced on the group’s account earlier: “Proud to announce that Jung Kook is part of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack & will perform at the World Cup opening ceremony.

Does it get any better than this? Uh, we think not.

Has BTS previously released new music for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar?
BTS earlier announced the release of their brand-new song as ambassadors of Hyundai (aka also a sponsor for the World Cup in Qatar), as part of the brand’s global campaign Goal Of The Century. Didn’t watch it yet? Click here ASAP to listen to “Yet to Come”.
BRB, on our way to Qatar right now!
