Here are 5 of the most iconic BTS collaborations that made them the most successful fanboys ever!
1. Tiger JK
The group’s leader RM has always emphasized his love and appreciation for Tiger JK’s music. He got to collaborate with the legend himself twice. The first project was a feature on the 2015 song “Buckubucku” with Tiger JK’s rap group MFBTY. The second time RM worked with his idol was on the song “Timeless” from the album Drunken Tiger X: Rebirth of Tiger JK that came out in 2018.
He featured on the track and was highly appreciated by Tiger JK, as he had expected RM to brag about his success on the verse but he talked about his idol’s legacy instead.

BTS’s maknae Jungkook has gone on record naming Charlie Puth as one of his musical idols numerous times. The two collaborated for the first time during the 2018 Melon Music Awards, where they performed Charlie’s song “We Don’t Talk Anymore” together. Recently the two reunited for “Left And Right,” an upbeat pop record that has been very well received worldwide.
5. Coldplay
BTS’s Jin has been very open about his appreciation for the band Coldplay for years. Last year both the groups collaborated on a song called “My Universe” that nearly broke the internet. Chris Martin went to South Korea to meet BTS in person and do the vocal recording with them. He ended up gifting his guitar to Jin before leaving the country.
