Okay, BTS and J Balvin stans, get ready! A surprising twist has left fans on the edge of their seats, J Balvin himself hinted at a possible collab with our BTS boys. The Colombian hitmaker, known for bops like “Mi Gente,” dropped this bombshell during a TikTok live session on May 14. Picture this: both the Latino and South Korean forces coming together to deliver an indisputable jam!
When did you collaborate with any kpop groups?
Okay… I had a song that I had recorded… I had a song recorded with BTS that never came out, never came out or hasn't come out yet because we don't know what happens to life, but we already have it like that… pic.twitter.com/OkA9oPT5Ch

Here’s how it all went down: as J Balvin was chilling in his stylist chair, getting his hair all fab, he casually chatted with fans. Suddenly, he was asked about a potential team-up with a K-pop group, and he was not shy to reveal he already had some material with none other than BTS. Here’s a translation of what he originally said in Spanish:
“Well I’ve got a song recorded with BTS, a track that’s never been dropped or hasn’t been dropped yet—because who knows what life has in store, but we already got it.”
Wait… J Balvin met hobi and jimin at Dior Show? the way hobi and J Balvin shook hands! And today J Balvin said in a live on IG that he recorded a song with BTS! pic.twitter.com/hw0iUaSI85

But this shouldn’t come as a surprise for ARMY (BTS fans) and J Balvin stans! The Colombian superstar has had some cozy interactions with BTS members Jimin and J-Hope at the 2023 Dior event—handshakes and all. This hints at the possibility of these global music powerhouses dropping a song at some point. With BTS planning a comeback in 2025, (after the members finish their military service) the stage could be set for this fire crossover.
