In the past, stars like Tom Holland and John Cena have publicly declared themselves as ARMYs. Additionally, BTS member V's close friend, Park Seo Joon, has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and interestingly, BTS is canon within the MCU itself.
The latest addition to the list of celebrity ARMYs is Winston Duke, a Tobagonian-Rwandan actor known for his role as M'Baku in "Black Panther." Currently promoting his new action-comedy film "The Fall Guy" alongside Ryan Gosling, Duke revealed his admiration for BTS in a recent interview.
