Forces to be Reckoned With
Both Megan and BTS have hit a number of milestones in the past few years. Megan recently released her song “Thot Shit” and has already reached 25 million views in just two months. Previously, she took home three awards and performed at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
BTS also performed at the Grammy Awards and became the first K-pop group to receive a major nomination for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Following the release of “Butter,” the group dropped the “Hotter,” “Sweeter,” and “Cooler” remixes. The group came back soon after with “Permission to Dance.”
From Texas to South Korea
In addition to impressive accolades, this project brings together diverse artists and audiences. Appealing to an international community, the track shows that music truly has no borders.
