Justin Timberlake might **t k**w who BTS are yet, but he might soon.
The seven-member K-pop boyband launched the first ever K-pop emoji (http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/05/bts-are-the-first-idol-group-to-launch-their-own-twitter-emoji) on Twitter on Thursday as part of a contest for their fans.

The emoji features a bulletproof vest with the band's initials "BTS" on it. The band's Korean name translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts."
While the emoji trended along with the Korean hashtag*#방탄소년단 on Twitter, little did anyone expect Hollywood celebrities to pick up on it too.
