1. Wow, this is insane. BTS is seriously amazing!

2. Ah, so they're really doing that World Cup Halftime show in the end?

3. It'd be great if they do it since the viewership will probably massively surpass the Super Bowl, but after the Paris concert they have to go to New Jersey and there's only like one free day in between, so I wonder if it's even possible with the travel time and rehearsals.

4. This lineup is insane, and with BTS too? Crazy. I'm seriously so excited.

5. BTS's schedule is seriously so packed—they finish the Paris concert on the 18th and then have to head straight to New York and perform that same day, damn..

6. Since it's football, I don't think they'll be doing some huge elaborate stage setup or anything, so even if the halftime gets longer, it probably won't be by that much. And honestly, that's something people should take up with FIFA anyway.

7. I'm freaking out. The lineup di soooo good. I'm insanely excited.

8. Madonna, Shakira, and BTS together... Wow...

9. It's officially confirmed now. I was wondering if it'd even be possible since their final Paris concert day before, but BTS, fighting!!

10. For the very first halftime show, a legend like Madonna is performing, and the fact that BTS gets to have their name alongside hers alone is incredible.

11. I'm curious whether they'll perform their signature hit songs or go with new songs.

12. I was already looking forward to the World Cup starting next month, and now there's another think to look forward to lol. BTS is really BTS—seriously incredible.

13. Well, it's the first halftime show they've ever done, and if people are worried because there are a lot of performers and might affect the players, then they should complain to FIFA. Anyway, this is huge.

14. Wow, crazy! It'd be awesome if they did "Hooligan" and "Dynamite" too.

15. If the World Cup final halftime show succeeds this time, its impact in the future could end up being in a completely different level from the Super Bowl Halftime show lol.

16. Wow, even after their military hiatus, they're still super popular. And I didn't even know where this year's World Cup was being held, so I looked it up and found out it's being hosted jointly across North America? That's pretty interesting.

17. But they haven't revealed what songs the artists are performing yet, right? I'm really curious!!

18. FIFA decided to do it that way, so what are random viewers supposed to do about it? 

19. A Korean artist performing there... Wow.

20. They're already hugely popular globally, but this feels like a chance to really leave an impression on people who weren't interested in them or didn't know much about them before. I'm excited!

21. There were already people saying from the moment the halftime performances was announced, "What are they even supposed to do in just 15 minutes?" But that's FIFA's problem to figure out anyway. I'm just amazed and proud that a Korean artist is in a lineup like that—it's seriously so cool lol.

22. I was wondering what people meant by "BT World Cup" lol—turns out the three of them are performing at the World Cup show. Congrats congrats.

23. Oh, maybe because it's being held in the U.S., they're doing a soccer halftime show too. Jungkook's performance at the Qatar opening ceremony was so good, so I'm really excited to see what kind of stage those three artists will put on.

24. After seeing that article mentioning BTS and the Super Bowl, I suddenly had a feeling and thought, "No way... Did they get confirmed for the World Cup halftime show, or a huge sports event similar to that?" So I started theorizing about it on my own lol. I don't know if it was a spoiler or not, but anyway, I guessed right hehe.

25. I wonder if they might perform on stage together with other artists too? I'm curious.

26. It really feels like BTS is truly back.

27. Wow, I'm really excited to see what kind of performance they'll put on.

28. How far are they going to rise? BTS is seriously amazing and fascinating.

29. Since I heard Chris Martin was in charge of it, I kind of had a feeling—wow. And Jungkook is performing at the World Cup for the second time in a row? That's insane.

30. This is the first time they've done something like this, right? The lineup of Madonna, Shakira, and BTS is incredible.

31. Kyaaa~ Just look at that lineup—that's insane. BTS only gets hated on in Korea anyway.

32. Wait, didn't Jungkook already do this? I still listen to that song sometimes.

33. So there's a World Cup halftime show now! I really enjoyed Jungkook's opening back then. It was so cool.

34. I hope Jungkook leaves us with another legendary performance, just like he did at the Qatar World Cup opening ceremony. Anyway, congrats BTS.

35. Jungkook's scale is insane. Before his discharge, he was a solo headliner for the World Cup opening ceremony, and after his discharge, he's doing the halftime show with he whole group. Damn.
