More on BTS

Earlier, BTS has treated their fans as they returned with In the Soop season two, wherein the global K-pop stars take a break and for a week, spend time in the forest doing things they love. From Jungkook's nipple piercing to his dog Jeon Bahm, the BTS ARMY has been going crazy and has been talking about the show on social media.

Last month, the seven members of BTS came together to invite their fans for their concert ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ as they grooved to their chart-topping number. They shared a video announcing their plans to hold the online concert on October 24 at 6:30 pm KST (3 pm IST).

Meanwhile, BTS recently collaborated with Coldplay for a new song 'My Universe'. The music video of 'My Universe' follows the global superstar groups traversing the distant galaxy of The Spheres where music is condemned. But that doesn't stop BTS, Coldplay, and a group of aliens called 'Supernova 7' from combining forces in the form of a hologram. The song also debuted at no. 1 on Billboards Hot 100 chart.
