BTS Teams Up for “Destined” New Project After Reuniting Following Military Service
BTS is officially back—and they’ve got a sweet treat to accompany the news.
Now that the seven members of the K-Pop band—Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook—have each completed their mandatory military service, they’re back and better than ever. And to help celebrate the news, they’ve teamed up with OREO to release a special, limited-edition flavor: brown-sugar pancake, inspired by the dish hotteok, complete with purple cookies.
For the band, the partnership is a call back to their earliest days as K-Pop trainees.
“I want to say this,” RM said in a Q&A video about the partnership in E! News’ exclusive clip. “Back when we were trainees, we released a song called ‘A Typical Trainee’s Christmas.’ That was 14 years ago.”
The comment sparked a memory for Jimin, who remembered that the song includes the word “oreo” in the chorus, singing the line at RM. His bandmate responded with the subsequent lyric, “The company keeps telling me to practice.”
As RM put it, “From that line, didn’t this partnership seem kind of destined?”
