With this news, came more updates, this time causing the internet to raise its eyebrows in bemusement because of their relatability. Not only is the BTS ARMY looking forward to the group’s White House visit, but it appears, so are some US Senators! Natalie Andrews, a congressional correspondent for ‘The Wallstreet Journal’, tweeted on behalf of US Senator Mazie Hirono, sharing her anticipation and looking forward to her invite to the White House to see BTS, commenting that she is the only US Senator who knows the group.
“I’m the only U.S. Senator who knows who BTS is,” says Sen. @maziehirono, looking for her invite to the White House to see the group.
This was followed by Senator Cris Coons quickly jumping to his defence, sharing a Tweet saying “Not even close. #BTSARMY”, and attaching a photo of his desk, showing a small BTS standee. Senator Hirono was quick to reply, as she Tweeted, “If you’re a true fan, who’s your bias? And don’t ask your staff.”
