It's no secret that Kpop is quickly becoming one of the most-loved genres of music right now and with its fun and catchy beats, who can blame fans? Well now, Kpop stans can take their love of the music genre to their Fortnite matches.
That's right, popular Kpop group BTS is now infecting your Fortnite matches, thanks to new emotes from Epic Games.
BTS has been dominating music charts for years now, with each new single breaking records. Now, thanks to these emotes, you can dance along to some of your favorite BTS bops while battling it out in Fortnite.
When can you get the new BTS emotes?
The new BTS emotes dropped on Fortnite's Item Shop on Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. ET. The emotes, which can only be purchased in a bundle, can be found under the "Featured" section of the Item Shop and can be bought for 800 V-Bucks.
The two emotes include choreography inspired by the group's hit single "Dynamite" as well as another from "I'm Diamond." You can use these emotes in Party Royale or elsewhere in the game!
It's currently unclear how long the emotes will be available in the Item Shop, so be sure to grab them while you can! They're bound to be a limited edition item that will make your in-game experience that much cooler.
You can put your emotes to use right now.
