Britain’s Got Talent audiences are not unfamiliar with K-Pop and have had exposure to the genre throughout the years. In the past, the show has seen performances from BTS of their hit track “Boy With Luv.”
PSY also performed “Gentleman.”
Recently, netizens noticed that on the show’s official Instagram account, there was a photo of the auditionees, and one particularly caught their attention. In the photo, there were three handsome contestants dressed in white who were getting ready for their audition.
Very quickly, netizens couldn’t hide their shock when they realized it was actually fourth-generation K-Pop group BLITZERS.
BLITZERS debuted back in 2021 and have continued to impress their fans with huge performances and talent.
Considering this, it wasn’t surprising that when netizens noticed the members, the Instagram comments were immediately full of fans who were confused and shocked by the group’s appearance.
It also became a hot topic on Reddit.

Here, the discourse was more wary. While some appreciated the boldness of the company, some were more hesitant, stating reasons like the reaction to them by the general public, whether the show is using them for “clout,” and much more.

Of course, like all of the versions of the show, Britain’s Got Talent has its own prizes. Along with getting a £250,000 cash prize, the winner of the show gets the chance to perform at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance, which is the entertainment industry’s annual fundraising event for the Royal Variety Charity.
The event has been happening since the early 1900s and has become a huge event in the calendar, with some of the biggest stars performing in front of an audience, including senior members of the royal family.
A huge 🙏 to all the performers, technicians & staff who made the 111th year of the #RoyalVarietyPerformance such a memorable one. Special 🙏 to @KensingtonRoyal & The Crown Princess of Sweden & Prince Daniel for their support for #Variety4Charity & to @ITV for a super broadcast. pic.twitter.com/2XGQZUZEdv
