On August 30, 2024, BTS leader Kim Namjoon, who goes by his stage name RM, stirred his fans online as he responded to a cryptic tweet by Megan Thee Stallion. Stallion tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) with emojis, hinting at a possible collaboration with BTS.
Fans speculated that the cryptic tweet could only mean a collaboration since she used an emoji of a Koala—Namjoon's representative emoji. However, the BTS fandom (ARMY) went into an online meltdown when Kim Namjoon retweeted Megan Thee Stallion's tweet with the same emojis and added "Coming Soon!"
