Was BTS snubbed at Super Bowl LVI? ARMY upset as Suga's 'Over The Horizon' not played

'Over The Horizon', a song Suga reimagined for Samsung, was to be featured at the event with the most expensive commercials

BTS' Suga's 'Over The Horizon' was reportedly supposed to be the first-ever song by a Korean solo artist to be played at Super Bowl this year. 'Over The Horizon', a song Suga reimagined for Samsung, was to be featured at the event with the most expensive commercials. During the Super Bowl, a 30-second commercial costs $6.5 million.

In the commercial, the K-pop kings advocated for a cleaner planet and promoted the company’s new eco-friendly devices. The two-minute clip, a play on the renowned Bob Dylan music video for 'Subterranean Homesick Blues', served as a promotion for Samsung's 'Galaxy For the Planet' campaign.
