BTS-Themed Rakhis Hit Indian Market And Desi Fans Are Loving It
Last Updated: BTS group has never visited India, but they still enjoy a fan following of millions in the country. BTS might have never stepped in India, but that doesn't mean they don't have ardent fans here. The country is among the top ones when it comes to streaming their songs and solo projects. If anything, the K-pop supergroup has a fan following of millions in India. So much so that their presence is felt everywhere, even without BTS ever setting foot here. From school notebooks to soft toys, key chains, and whatnot, you name it, and you will definitely find some unofficial merchandise with their faces on it. The latest item to join the craze is a BTS-themed rakhi for the upcoming festival of Rakshabandhan. A fan in Hyderabad recently discovered a store selling rakhis featuring motifs of RJ, a cute alpaca character created by Jin for the BT21 brand. These cute rakhis were likely priced between Rs 10 and Rs 15, making them perfectly affordable for everyone. dudee we got rj rakhis Fans React To Rakhis With RJ's Face In no time, ARMYs took note of the viral post and started sharing how they might buy such rakhis to wear as bracelets, while another section also discussed BTS' popularity in India. 'Mereko rakhi pehna do (tie this rakhi to me). I promise I'll protect you," said one user. Another added, 'I'm not even a Hindu, but WELL GIVE IT TO ME IMMA KEEP IT AS A GIFT." A different fan mischievously commented, 'I will buy it if it's available in my area in the name of my brother for myself." Is BTS Coming To India? Ever since the BTS members – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook – completed their military services, fans eagerly waited for the announcement of their new project. And they did not disappoint. They not only announced a brand-new album, scheduled for release between March and May 2026, but BTS also spoke about their highly anticipated world tour. With this announcement, and the launch of HYBE India by September or October of this year, the buzz surrounding their shows has intensified. There is a possibility that BTS might organise shows in India as part of their world tour, but nothing is confirmed as of now. Right now, the seven members are in the US, working on their upcoming album. In the meantime, there is a possibility of solo projects from the septet in the coming months. Also, they made their return to the music scene, as a unit, after three years with the live album, Permission to Dance On Stage- Live, which was released on July 18.
