Comedian Zakir Khan has shared a hilarious story from when he unknowingly got the chance to meet and spend time with K-Pop superstars BTS.
The comedian recently shared how he met the members from the popular K-pop group, but sadly, at the time, he 'didn't know who they were'.
In a recent interview with Lallantop, he recalled that he had to travel all the way to South Korea for an interview with a popular Korean celebrity that had been planned.
He, however, was late to the venue and was grouped alongside BTS, who had also been in line to meet the celebrity.
At the time, they were sharing the room, and while the comedian had taken notice of them, he did not know who they were. To make conversation, he had even ended up asking them about who they were, and the answer 'BTS' did not ring any bells for him.
"I thought that the Korean organising team was called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people," he admitted.
Unknowingly,

ended up spending almost 45 minutes in the same room with the superstars. He also delved into how he only found out about their popularity levels when he shared the incident with other people around him. He shared, "Later, when I told people that for 45 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted'.
