In an interview during the Le Gala Des Pieces Jaunes held on January 24, 2025, in Paris, J Balvin revealed that he recorded a song with BTS a few years ago. He also mentioned that he does not know when it will be released, and the group is currently on a hiatus owing to the members' military enlistments, but he is looking forward to it.

While some were excited about the collaboration, a few were not enthusiastic about the association with J Balvin. Here's what the fans had to say about the rumored collaboration:

BTS and their Western collaborations over the years
Over the years, BTS, as a group or its members in a solo capacity, have collaborated with various Western artists. j-hope collaborated with Becky G for Chicken Noodle Soup (2019), Jungkook got Jack Harlow for 3D (2023), and Jason Derulo for Standing Next to You (2024), to name a few.
As a group, BTS has collaborated with Coldplay for My Universe (2021), Snoop Dogg and Benny Blanco for Bad Decisions (2022), and Halsey for Boy with Luv (2019), among others. These solo and group collaborations have topped several charts worldwide.

Currently, members Jin and j-hope have completed their military enlistment duties, while the others still have some time left. Hybe had reportedly mentioned the group's comeback in 2026, and fans have been excited ever since. J Balvin's mention of a collaboration has only added to their excitement.
