The animated clip shared by fan accounts shows Stitch gushing about his love for K-pop, proudly declaring, “Yeah, Stitch big K-pop fan!” When asked who his favorite group is, he didn’t hesitate: “Everyone know Stitch love BTS.” And when pressed for his bias, he responded, “J-Hope!!” And boom! Just like that, posts with this interview have racked up millions of views and likes on social media.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. The Stitch movie, hitting theaters May 23, dives back into the heartwarming story of found family in Hawaii. The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, is central to both the original 2002 animated film and this live-action adaptation. Elvis was Lilo’s fave back then, but now it looks like Stitch’s heart beats to BTS’ bops. As Stitch makes his theatrical return, it’s safe to say this little alien just gave us the most adorable K-pop moment of 2025, at least so far.
