A few days back, when one of The Masked Singers judges Nicole Scherzinger was asked if she could invite a Korean celebrity for the show, she had said, “If I could invite a Korean celebrity for ‘The Masked Singer,’ it would have to be Jimin from BTS. I wish I could say that in Korean,” Scherzinger said.
In a video clip celebrating the original show’s six-year anniversary, hosts Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, and Scherzinger can be seen sharing their thoughts on Korean celebrities who should guest star on the American series.
It would really be interesting to see JIMIN on The Masked Singer and that could happen as BTS members have a long history of the franchise Masked Singer.
