Even though the halftime show has become a global event, there is still controversy for non-English-speaking performers. Bad Bunny faced backlash this year after performing in Spanish, which could spark the same criticism for BTS as primarily Korean-speaking performers.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, RM pointed out that the growing global interest in Korean culture is a reason to believe that a performance like that could happen one day. For example, the popularity of movies like Parasite and the popularity of Korean culture could boost their chances. <strong>Jimin<\/strong> also gave a realistic answer, saying that BTS cannot do it unless they are invited. Meanwhile, Jin revealed that he has already thought about what a BTS Super Bowl halftime show performance could look like.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bts_bighit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@bts_bighit<\/a>&#39;s RM (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%EA%B9%80%EB%82%A8%EC%A4%80?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#\uae40\ub0a8\uc900<\/a>) talks about if <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bts_bighit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@bts_bighit<\/a> could do the Super Bowl:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Maybe if the time goes by and the thoughts in the people change&#8230;if there&#39;s a chance, we definitely want to, some day.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Video interview: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9QqaIRF4uW\">https:\/\/t.co\/9QqaIRF4uW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KqjILF77bP\">pic.twitter.com\/KqjILF77bP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rolling Stone (@RollingStone) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RollingStone\/status\/2043712563817730267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 13, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote><p>\u201cMaybe if time goes by, and the thoughts in the people change,\u201d RM told Rolling Stone. \u201cAll of the people in the world are watching Parasite, all these great things in Korean culture.
