The remix featuring Megan sent the fandom into a frenzy, with their chemistry proving undeniable. Their joint performance in Los Angeles became an unforgettable moment for concert-goers. Megan’s genuine admiration for BTS did not go unnoticed, quickly securing her a place in the hearts of ARMYs worldwide.
Now, it seems Megan may have dropped a subtle hint that has fans eagerly awaiting another collaboration.
During their "Butter" collaboration, rumours swirled about a potential musical exchange—fans speculated that BTS might feature on one of Megan’s own tracks. As the group began their military service, the idea faded from discussion, but hope never entirely disappeared.
Fast forward to the present: Megan is promoting her latest album, which includes a track titled "Mamushi (feat. Yuki Chiba)." On 29 August, she took to Twitter to tease a behind-the-scenes look at the music video, promising more exciting updates to come.
"Good morning HOTTIES. Let’s start our day with the Mamushi Music Video BTS. More news later," she wrote.
She followed this up with a cryptic tweet made entirely of emojis—a horse, a purple heart, and side-eye emojis, with an "X" separating them. Fans immediately began speculating about the meaning behind the purple heart. Some believed it might be a nod to Olivia Rodrigo, known for using purple in her branding, while many others took it as a hint towards a BTS collaboration.
What really sent ARMYs into a frenzy was when the official BTS account quoted Megan’s tweet and added a Koala emoji, representing the group’s leader, RM. Fans went wild, interpreting this as a sign of an imminent collaboration between the two stars, fuelling anticipation across social media.
The excitement is tangible, and even some brands are getting involved in the speculation.
Could this be the start of another iconic Megan X BTS project? Fans are keeping a close watch for more clues.
