The BTS hype doesn't look like it'll be fading any time soon.

One of K-pop's biggest boy bands, BTS, performed their first concert at England's Wembley Stadium on Saturday, becoming the first South Korean group to headline the iconic venue.

The seven-member band reportedly played a set of 24 songs to tens of thousands of fans, and their performance lasted more than two hours. The show was also broadcast live so that fans around the world could tune in, and boy did they.

Members of the BTS ARMY — both in-stadium and watching from home — were quick to applaud the band's historic performance on social media and share photos and video from the exciting night.

The Wembley Stadium concert was simply the next step in a big year for BTS. The band recently played on Saturday Night Live and also performed a concert in Manhattan's Central Park with Good Morning America. Saturday's show was the first of two sold-out nights at Wembley -- and only the band's third UK show ever -- so fans are already packing the stadium to hear more K-pop music.

Here's to more BTS mania in 2019.
