Ed Sheeran confirmed a new collaborative project with Korean boy band BTS after briefly discussing his previous collaboration with the record-smashing Korean group, “Make It Right.”
Ed Sheeran is set to make another collaboration with Korean boy band BTS, the British singer has confirmed.
Before BIGHIT Music’s confirmation, the American Radio Show Most Requested Live uploaded a clip of their recent interview with Sheeran, where the singer-songwriter spilled the beans about his participation.
While speaking to Most Requested Live, Sheeran confirmed the new track after briefly discussing his previous collaboration with the record-smashing Korean group, “Make It Right.”
“I’ve actually worked with BTS on their last record, and I’ve just written a song for their new record,” he said. “And they’re super, super cool guys as well.”
BTS’ label Big Hit Music corroborated the news with a short statement to South Korean media, reading, “It is true that Ed Sheeran is participating in BTS’s new song.”
The CD version of BTS’ latest hit “Butter” will be released on July 9, and BIGHIT Music has said the new track “will make your heart beat to the rhythm of BTS’s positive energy”.
When asked for more details of the song, whether it would be in “Butter” or a new project, the agency said, “We cannot confirm the details.”
Last time BTS worked with Ed Sheeran, they released the soulful track called Make It Right, from their 2019 album Map Of The Soul: Persona. Fans worldwide are already anticipating what type of emotion and message BTS and Ed Sheeran will convey with their faultless harmony on “Make It Right.”
BTS, meanwhile, received some good news this week (June 23) when a South Korean minister said that he would write a recommendation for the group to delay their mandatory military enlistment, should they apply for it.
As of June 23, a new amendment regarding military deferment has taken effect in South Korea.
The law, which passed last year, states that pop musicians who have received cultural merits from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism may apply to defer their enlistment until the age of 30. (NP)
