Kaun Banega Crorepati 14: Amitabh Bachchan asks question on BTS, desi ARMY reacts

The ongoing season of the quizzing-based game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 14 is garnering huge TRPs on national television. The episode telecast on October 12 had a surprise for the fans of the South Korean band BTS, known as ARMY, when the host Amitabh Bachchan asked a question about the septet.

The episode began with Dr. Tanvi Khanna from Patiala winning the fastest-finger-first round and taking the host seat. Her question worth Rs 5000 read as, "The band BTS, having Jin, SUGA, and J-Hope as three of its members, is from which Asian country?" with the options as South Korea, Iran, Sri Lanka, and Mongolia.

The contestant quickly locked in the first option and gave the correct answer saying that she is a K-Pop fan. The actor, whose 80th birthday was celebrated on the sets of KBC on October 11, asked her what does K-Pop mean, to which Tanvi explained to Big B that it stands for Korean Pop music.
