The lads have captured the hearts of millions of people around the world and have become the biggest sensation. Their music enables them to communicate messages that are rich in metaphor and cultural allusions.
Not only that, but their blend of hip-hop and EDM has proven to be popular. With millions of CDs sold, the band has been performing to sold-out crowds at stadiums. Furthermore, a number of western musicians like Nicki Minaj, LAUV, Sia, Becky G, The Chain Smokers, Steve Aoki, Lil Nas X, Zara Larson, Halsey, Charli XCX, and many more have collaborated with the Korean boy band.
In July, the K-Pop group will release a CD version of their latest English hit “Butter.” However, It’s unknown whether BTS’s new collaborative track with Ed Sheeran will be included in the CD version of “Butter” or if it will be released as part of a separate album. “We cannot confirm the details,” Big Hit Music said when asked if the song would be released in July.
