For the unversed, Winston Duke made his acting debut as the character M'Baku in the blockbuster Marvel film, Black Panther, starring the late Hollywood star Chadwick Boseman. He played the same character in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avengers: Endgame.

After his interview clip went viral online and ARMYs took to social media to express gratitude for loving the K-pop sensation and their music, the Black Panther actor revealed his favorite episode from the K-pop group's popular variety show, Run BTS!.

The Black Panther actor revealed that he loved episodes 131 and 132 of the variety show where the Bangtan members were engaged in a debate and would accidentally set off water canons by uttering their forbidden words:

"Hmmm, not gonna lie, I haven’t seen them all but the 77 minute debate one … when the members kept setting off the water cannons unintentionally …" he wrote.

Much to the delight of the Bangtan's ARMY, Winston Duke didn't end it with just two tweets. The Tobagonian-Rwandan actor from Hollywood went on to comment on various tweets from fans and shared his love for Bangtan Sonyeondan.

When probed, Duke revealed that his current favorite members from the band are Kim Namjoon aka RM, and Kim Seokjin aka Jin. Furthermore, Duke also revealed his excitement when he commented on another tweet emphasizing that he was "counting days" until Jin's arrival after his mandatory military service.

When probed further about his favorite BTS album, he added that he can't choose since he loves all the albums of the band. Additionally, when an ARMY enquired which part from the Cypher series is his favorite, The Fall Guy actor shared that he loves Cypher Pt.4. He wrote:

"Hmmmm, I'm partial to cypher pt 4."

Duke also answered a few more tweets from the ARMY regarding having more BTS fans in the Wakanda crew from his two films from the Black Panther series. The actor then sent out his parting tweet to the followers, bidding them farewell and saying he was out to brunch and would interact with them later.

He came back online a few hours later and responded to a fan's tweet suggesting that the actor watch the variety show of the band and listen to their songs, Run. He explained that he is aware of Bangtan's Run variety show, RUN from the band's album Proof, and RUN from the album Youth.

Responding to the tweet, he wrote:

"lol that’s 3 different things: Run! Bts is their variety show … I’ve probably only seen a quarter of those. Run by BTS is a song about chasing the fleeting memories of one’s youth … it’s a vibe! Run BTS is a song about their hustle and determination for the past 7 yrs So, what I’m saying here is that each in their own right, stands on its own!"

Additionally, Duke shares his favorite tracks of the group by recommending it to a fan. He suggested Bapsae, Silver Spoon, All Day by RM, ugh!, Yet To Come, NEURON by J-Hope, and Life Goes On. He further mentioned that he loves Suga's Somebody Does Love and Trivia 轉 : Seesaw.
