BTS fans in the UK have put up a billboard to mark the bands fifth anniversary.

The K-pop group, who have recently been taking the US by storm, formed in 2013.

If you happen to be passing by Vauxhall station in south London this weekend, you will spot the poster in all its glory – right above a Nandos.

The blue poster features the group members and the words Happy 5th anniversary BTS. See you in October.

The seven-piece group – RM, V, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook – are heading to London later this year as part of their Love Yourself tour.

This isnt the first billboard to be organised by UK ARMYs, as the team behind the Vauxhall poster – BANGTANUK and BTSUKUNITE – also put one up in Tower Bridge last year to let their label Big Hit know that there are fans in Britain.

The team spent ages getting donations from other BTS fans in the UK to fund the poster.

BTS fans fathered in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens on Saturday for picnic to celebrate five years of their faves.
