A photo of a supposed BTS member outside the YG Entertainment building became a hot topic on various online communities. This sparked discussion about whether K-pop fans are expected to hear dating rumors or THIS soon.
BTS Jimin Spotted Outside YG Entertainment
Earlier, a photo of presumably BTS Jimin outside YG Entertainment spread like wildfire on various online communities.
In the photo, the back of the head of a man was seen, wearing a white hat while getting inside a car, apparently after visiting YG's main building.
Although it was hard to distinguish whether the man is really Jimin, people claimed that K-pop fans outside the YG building confirmed that it was indeed the BTS member.
In particular, people who were present at that time were able to take the photo since the "Dynamite" singer used the agency's public door instead of the VIP one, the former being the door usually used by artists to greet fans.
Why Did BTS Jimin Go to YG? Dating Rumor vs Collab Speculations Arise
After seeing him outside YG Entertainment, K-pop fans expressed their curiosity about why Jimin was spotted outside YG. After all, the male idol is not even an artist under the company but HYBE.
As soon as the photo was shared online, K-Netz shared mixed opinions such as:
- "Why is he being filmed like Dispatch would in a dating rumor?"
- "It's like a dating rumor."
- "Dating rumor? Nah?"
On the flip side, local and foreign K-pop fans think that Jimin is most likely spotted in YG due to his reported collaboration with BIGBANG Taeyang next year.
- "I guess the collab is true."
- "The meeting of the kings, I can't wait."
- "When will the collab be out?" I am looking forward to it."
- "I like Jimin's voice, looking forward to Taeyang x Jimin."
BTS Jimin x BIGBANG Taeyang Collab
Meanwhile, the collaboration rumor arose when industry officials initially reported on December 9 that Jimin will participate in Taeyang's solo album, which is scheduled to be released in the first half of next year.
This report received explosive responses as if this is true, it is the first time that BIGBANG and BTS, both sharing the moniker "Kings of K-pop" met each other through a release.
It is also earning massive anticipation since Taeyang and Jimin were both highly skilled in terms of vocals and dance.
As a result, YG Entertainment confirmed that Taeyang is currently working on his new solo album, his first release in about six years since "White Night," which was introduced in August 2017.
However, there is no mention about BTS Jimin's participation in the album aside from:
"We are currently checking whether it is true."
Meanwhile, BTS said in June that it would temporarily suspend group music activities and show its solo performance. Since then, each member has been active in releasing solo albums. Big Hit music, a label under HYBE to which Jimin belongs is yet to release a statement regarding collab.
