Is BTS x Megan Thee Stallion collab in the works? K-pop group meets rapper after UNGA

Apart from BTS meeting Megan, a lot has been going on September 22 that includes ARMY trending ‘Life Goes On’

BTS and Megan Thee Stallion finally meet. After Megan took stan Twitter by storm last month with the announcement of what would probably be the most iconic collab with the ‘Butter’ remix, fans wondered if we would get a music video. Alas, since BTS hadn’t left South Korea in around two years, they couldn’t film the music video together. But after visiting New York for the 76th UNGA (United Nation’s General Assembly), they caught up with Megan.

The BTS x Megan Thee Stallion combo is getting pretty eventful. From legal court cases against Megan’s label to the 3J performance video, a lot has happened. While we couldn’t get a music video, 3J: Jimin, J-hope and Jungkook created new choreography for Megan’s verse in the ‘Butter’ remix and dropped a special dance performance video that ARMYs and Hotties loved. However, with BTS meeting Megan, fans wonder if there is a new collab in the works.

BTS x Megan Thee Stallion drop 'Butter' remix, ARMY and Hotties dub it 'biggest mood'

BTS meets Megan Thee Stallion

When Megan Thee Stallion first announced the ‘ButterTheeRemix’, it was because of a court case since her label wasn’t signing off on the release. Due to that, documents were released that showed us the workings of the partnership between Megan and BTS. And with the two acts meeting on September 22, fans have pointed out one detail of the partnership. 

It seems that there was a swap deal between the two. That means Megan will feature in a track of BTS and vice versa. So, yes, we might be getting a second collab. Not only that, the place where they met is Roc Nation’s headquarters in New York. It should be noted that Roc Nation was founded by Jay-Z in 2008 and houses a talent agency that manages Megan. And it looks like ARMYs and Hotties have put two and two together and believe that they met up there to record or discuss the next collab track.

Other than Megan’s adorable selfie with the boys and the photos of them meeting one of her pets, 4oe, ARMYs have a lot to unpack. They also couldn’t help but get excited over the fact that BTS was at Jay-Z’s agency since it gets Jimin one step closer to Beyonce, who is a big fan of her. They also found it cute that RM had gifted Megan his favorite BT21 plushie, Thinker Koala Koya.

'So wholesome'

Fans have been trending Megan since the selfies dropped as they can’t get over the wholesome meeting. They made tweets like, “NAMJOON GAVE MEGAN A KOYA PLUSHIE ITS A WRAP EVERYONE GO HOME WE LOST JOON,” and “Bts and megan meeting in person in nyc plus bangtan giving a baby koya plushie as a gift to megan... this is so wholesome.” They also couldn’t help but hype up the potential collab, “WAIT BTS AGREED TO FEATURE ON A MEGAN TRACK IN THEIR NEGOTIATIONS… DID THEY MEET UP TO DISCUSS MEG FT BTS?!!???????” With ARMYs begging for footage of the meeting from BTS’ point of view, one fan posted, “Bighit finna drop that bangtan bomb with megan in 2023.”

'Life Goes On'

ARMYs also trended ‘Life Goes On’, a BTS song since a lot of fans missed the things that happened on September 22 with posts like, “2 mins of silence to those Asian ARMYs who just woke up N found out they missed- 4 BTS live BTS & Megan selca Megan posted a pic of her with BTS James Corden is cancelled from calling Papa mochi You saying we missed a whole damn season of stan twt?! Its okay. Life goes on.” James Corden was cancelled by ARMYs after he called BTS’ presence at the UNGA “unusual” and called the fandom 15-year-old girls.

BTS also did several VLives due to poor internet which only a few fans could join as one ARMY made a double-take meme. Another fan tweeted, “Don't say life goes on because life freaking doesn't go on when you miss 4 BTS Vlives in a day..Life stops.” Fans joked that everyone decided to unanimously make September 22 BTS’ day since we also got a new teaser for BTS x Coldplay collab, “And they said that we can't be together…" No wait is this how #MyUniverse is going to sound..huh?!? It's MiniMonie harmonising right!? I'm driving crazy Coldplay X BTS is going to supply Insane Loudly crying faceLoudly crying face Omg COLDTAN #COLDPLAYxBTS.” One fan added, “Kelly Rowland liked a post about Coldtan and Beyonce's mom liked the Meg x BTS photos,,, so... that can only mean..... Destiny's Child x BTS.” “Coldtan and megtan and the unga I’ve been on a constant high these last few weeks,” said one ARMY.
