If you’ve wanted to dance alongside BTS, take photos with Seventeen or sing along with Tomorrow X Together, you’ll get your chance — virtually — in August at the Grammy Museum in downtown L.A.

The museum its set to open its first full floor K-pop exhibit on Aug. 2, HYBE: We Believe In Music, A GRAMMY Museum Exhibit. The exhibit will highlight key moments from artists signed to the South Korean entertainment company, Hybe. The company is behind K-pop acts like BTS, BoyNextDoor, TWS, &TEAM, Seventeen and others.

The display will include K-pop band wardrobe from 78 different artists. Some of the clothes featured will be those worn in popular music videos such as "Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)" and "Maestro" by Seventeen. You can check out the full list here.

There'll also be interactive singing, dancing and photo booths. Another highlight is an immersive room featuring BTS' 2022 Grammy performance.

To kick things off, the museum will host a moderated talk with the group TWS, followed by a performance.

"Hybe: We Believe in Music, A Grammy Museum Exhibit” will run from Aug. 2 to Sept. 15.
