#SOPE trends on Twitter as BTS members have April Fools' fun with their account

BTS is celebrating April Fools' Day by having some on Twitter with their fans!

On April 1, the group changed their profile picture from a photo of all of them to a rather unusual image of member Jin holding a massive black tiger prawn like a telephone. They also changed their name field to an emoji of a blonde boy and a shrimp before sending out a simple "Hello?" tweet as if he was talking into his shrimp phone.

In response, one netizen playfully commented: "BTS? Jin? We only know Seokprawn."


Later, the profile and image changed again - this time around, featuring a selfie of J-Hope and Suga. The account's name also changed from BTS to 'SOPE,' a combination of the two members' names.

"Contact via DM for event inquiries,"
the profile playfully read. "We can go anywhere within the country. Get it!"

Soon after, they tweeted: "The number one of Korea!!!! Singers SOPE."


The constant moving around of content on the BTS Twitter was a big hit with their fans, who quickly caused '#SOPE' to trend worldwide on Twitter.

Meanwhile, BTS is currently preparing to make a comeback later this month.
