IShowSpeed and BTS both played a key role in the entertainment at the World Cup final last weekend.

IShowSpeed performed his single, World Cup (Champions), alongside drummers and dancers at the closing ceremony.

Post Malone was the headlining act, while Robbie Williams, Nicole Scherzinger, and Laura Pausini also took to the stage.

K-Pop group BTS performed one of their biggest hits, ‘Dynamite’, as part of the inaugural World Cup final halftime show.

Madonna, Shakira and Justin Bieber also contributed to the show, which Coldplay’s Chris Martin curated.

However, another special moment between IShowSpeed and BTS at MetLife Stadium broke an incredible record.

IShowSpeed’s World Cup final reel with BTS breaks social media record

IShowSpeed was fortunate enough to meet the members of BTS inside MetLife Stadium after their halftime performance.

Speed’s production team recorded a short clip of his behind-the-scenes interaction with BTS and posted it on Instagram.

It then broke the social media platform’s record for the most views in 24 hours, with a remarkable 300 million.

Speed and BTS have a combined 130 million followers on Instagram, but more than twice that number have watched this Reel.

The American social media influencer was delighted to meet the K-Pop group, and must be even happier with the viewing figures.

Speed has become one of the most influential people in the United States, especially with the younger generation.

The 21-year-old’s involvement in the 2026 World Cup will only have increased his profile around the world.
