Former Disney child star Raven-Symone revealed that she wants to meet BTS to know what the members smell like. The sharing was made when the actress attended the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 in Las Vegas (USA).
Appearing on the green carpet of the music festival, Raven-Symone chatted with MC Becky Mits about BTS. When mentioned the Korean group, she suddenly shared a rather special reason for her desire to meet them.
I want to know what they smell like," she said.
The actress explained that this curiosity originated from meeting famous people when she was young. During her artistic career, she had the opportunity to meet many artists. Hugs in meetings made her remember the scent of each person.
According to the actress, this habit gradually became part of her way of remembering people she had met. She still remembers the scent of some famous artists, including LL COOL J and Whitney Houston.
I know what LL COOL J smells like. I remember Whitney Houston's smell," she shared.
Therefore, when she has the opportunity to meet a new artist, she is often curious about their scent. BTS became the next name that made the actress want to find an answer.
Not only sharing about her curiosity, Raven-Symone also expressed her excitement about BTS's performance at the festival. The band took on the final stage in the opening night of iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026 at T-Mobile Arena.
Opening the performance, BTS chose "Swim" - the title track in the album "Arirang". This is a highly anticipated performance as the group is returning to international stages with a full squad after each member's separate performance.
After "Swim", BTS continued to bring "2.0" and "Mic Drop". The stage atmosphere was pushed up with rhythmic songs, before the group closed the performance with "FYA".
Taking on the finishing position of the show also helped BTS become one of the highlights of the festival's first day. The stage in Las Vegas marks another activity of the group in the US during the promotion period of the album "Arirang".
Raven-Symone, born in 1985, became famous in the US from a young age through Disney shows. She is widely known for her lead role in the sitcom "That's So Raven", which aired from 2003 to 2006.
After working as a child actress, she continues to pursue music, acting and hosting. Currently, Raven-Symone still appears in entertainment shows and makes podcasts in the US.
