Backstreet Boys stated "Actually Aoki played us one of their songs that hasn't even been released. It's a remix that he did in the studio because we're actually going to be doing something with Steve Aoki as well."

They added "We wanna actually invite the guys to our show in Vegas if you guys wanna come, so BTS all the way baby," cheering on BTS.

(ACCESS HOLLYWOOD's Interview on BTS. ▶BTS On Getting Compared To The Backstreet Boys & One Direction)

Previously, BTS had interviewed ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, a local press, during their visit to the U.S. in November 2017. They had spoken about themselves in comparison with the Backstreet Boys.

When the reporter asked BTS if they knew that they were being compared to NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and One Direction, RM answered "I've listened to their songs ever since I was little. My parents are in their fifties, and they also know the groups. Perhaps this is a cliche, but it's an honor (to be compared to them)."
