'Friends' is a 2020 song made by Jimin and sung by him and V aka Taehyung

Looks like it is no exaggeration when fans say that K-pop is gradually taking over other industries. Previously, we saw several notable K-pop idols like GOT7’s Mark, Bibi and DPR LIVE in the OST album of Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi’. And now for their next superhero film ‘Eternals’, the Hollywood studio has gone all out once again. And this time, it seems that they have roped in BTS’ Jimin and Taehyung aka V.

Last week, there were rumors that BTS’ ‘Friends’ is said to be used in ‘Eternals’. While the official soundtrack album has not been released by Marvel, fans were excited about the global K-pop group’s latest gig. ‘Friends’ is a 2020 song that was released in BTS’ fourth Korean studio album ‘Map Of The Soul: 7’. The album consists of several solo and duet songs. ‘Friends’ is performed by the two BTS members Jimin and Taehyung as it chronicles their friendship. Additionally, it was produced by Jimin.
