Justin Bieber and BTS may be set to collaborate on a new song, and if this happens, the music industry might explode. Bieber and the K-Pop group are massive in their own right with their own mega fans, the Beliebers and the BTS ARMY respectively.

Neither the Justice singer nor Jin, V, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jungkook, or Jimin have announced anything official. However, there are some major hints that this collab is a go.

The K-Pop group has been shattering records across the global music industry,” Bieber said in one voiceover, according to Billboard. “Historically, non-English songs have had a hard time getting radio play, and as a result rarely do they see the top of the Billboard charts. “Dynamite” is one of BTS’s first songs performed entirely in English.”
