Saturday Night Live: Beck Bennett as Mike Pence makes a BTS reference during variety show's cold open
In its recently aired December 19 episode, Saturday Night Live's cold open featured a subtle reference to BTS through Beck Bennett's impersonation of Vice President Mike Pence.
It won't be wrong to say that BTS has truly paved their own way into superstardom on a global scale thanks to their music and the positive message they send across. Moreover, the seven members: RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, have their individual personalities which make BTS ARMY go gaga over the boys. Hence, it comes as no surprise when the septet is referred to as pop culture terms.
On the recently aired December 19 episode of Saturday Night Live, the popular South Korean boy group was subtly referenced to during the cold open, which is the opening segment of the legendary variety show. During the particular sketch in question, Maya Rudolph's impersonation of U.S. President-elect Kamala Harris is seen telling Beck Bennett's impersonation of Vice President Mike Pence that she has some really good news to share. This prompts Pence to exclaim with excitement, "Oh my God, BTS is touring again?"
