On July 30 (local time), the coronation of new Malaysian King took place at the National Palace, Kuala Lumpur.
Sultan Abdullah was installed as the 16th King (Agong, the supreme ruler) of Malaysia on this day, and sat down for his interview with the press.
During the interview, Malaysian news outlet Astro Awani's two reporters prepared a fun 'This or That' game for the King.
While answering various questions during the game, His Majesty revealed that he enjoys hip-hop over K-pop.
But it was soon revealed that it does not mean he doesn't have a favorite K-pop group―as he was asked to choose between BLACKPINK and BTS.
After a short pause, the King chose BTS over BLACKPINK with a smile on his face.
Upon seeing this interview, Malaysian ARMYs (BTS' official fan club) commented, "Our King chose BTS, it's a win for us Malaysian ARMY!", "I knew it! Welcome to the club, Your Majesty.", and more.
