Updated 2025.08.05 15:27


Reports that BTS would be participating in a tribute album for Michael Jackson, the 'King of Pop,' have been debunked.

On the 5th, BigHit Music stated, "BTS has neither visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland nor recorded there. The reports of their participation in the Michael Jackson tribute album are also untrue."

They continued, "We are taking steps to prevent the spread of inaccurate information. We sincerely thank all the fans who continue to support and cherish BTS. We will continue to do our utmost to support the artists' activities."

Previously, the news that BTS was involved in a tribute album project featuring unreleased songs by Michael Jackson was reported by the Michael Jackson fan community, MJ Vibe, causing a significant stir. The community's server even temporarily went down, but it has been confirmed that the information was incorrect.

Meanwhile, following their return from military service in June, BTS is set to release new music and embark on a large-scale world tour as a full group next spring.

Below is the full official statement from BigHit Music.

Hello, this is BigHit Music.

We would like to clarify that there are inaccuracies in the recent reports about 'BTS's participation in the Michael Jackson tribute album.'

BTS has not visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland nor recorded there, and the reports about their involvement in the Michael Jackson tribute album are also false.

We are continuing to address the spread of inaccurate information.

We sincerely thank all the fans who always support and cherish BTS. We will continue to do our best to support the artists' activities.

Thank you.
