Music lovers are in for a treat. It looks like South Korean boy band BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, might have some new music with English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran on the way.
On Nov. 19, Monday, Ed Sheeran took some time off his busy schedule for a sit-down interview with Heat World. During his interview, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter answered fans' questions about his future projects.
"I want BTS x Ed Sheeran [collaboration] but when will they ever," one fan asked. Ed Sheeran, then, replied, "I actually wrote a song that I think they [BTS] might be messing with. I heard this the other day. I don't know. I really like BTS though, I think they're great."
While nothing is officially set in stone yet, fans have been expressing their excitement over Twitter. One fan even claimed that Ed Sheeran and BTS' collaboration would be one of the biggest collaboration in the music industry.
