BTS leader RM let the huge crowd at London's Wembley Stadium know about his support for fellow Korean international star Son Heung-min on Saturday. On the same day, both celebrities took another step in their music and football careers.

The K-pop boy band leader, stepping on to the biggest British concert stage with six other group members on their "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" tour, wore a navy blue cap that read "SON" on front while performing "Anpanman." It was the "Spurs Kids Son Heung-Min Player Cap" available at English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur's online shop for 12 euros.

During the number, RM finger-pointed to "SON" on his cap whenever "new superhero" was heard.

On the same day, Son played in the UEFA Champion's League final against Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid, Spain. He became the second Korean to play in the championship after Park Ji-sung with Manchester United in 2009 and 2011. Tottenham lost 0-2.

Wembley Stadium was also Tottenham's temporary home between August 2017 and March 2019.

BTS, nicknamed "the Beatles of the 21st century" due to its global phenomenon, drew concert fans from all over Europe who watched the group perform megahits like "Boy With Luv," "Fire," "Dope," "Idol" and "Fake Love" for two hours and 40 minutes.
