After she answered the question correctly, Amitabh explained the full form of BTS — Bangtan Sonyeondan. The contestant replied, “Sir, I love K-pop.” Unaware of the term, Amitabh asked her to explain what K-pop is. She informed him that K-pop means Korean pop music and Amitabh said that he learned something new today.
