Her following post on X (formerly Twitter) consisted of only emojis—the horse, a purple heart, and the side eyes emoji—and an X between them.
🐎X💜 👀

Fans instantly thought it might be a hint at a BTS collaboration due to the purple heart, as they’re often associated with each other. Besides, she previously collaborated with the group for a remix of their hit song “Butter.” They agreed to two collaborations in the deal: One for the group and one for her.

Now, it has been confirmed!
BTS’s official X account quote-tweeted confirming the collaboration. By adding a koala emoji, ARMYs assume the collaboration is with RM specifically, as KOYA the koala is his BT21 character.

Coming Soon! 💜👀 https://t.co/8KGKigU5tL— BTS_official (@bts_bighit) August 30, 2024
What’s curious, though, is the addition of the hedgehog emoji. Some think it’s a joke about RM’s current hairstyle.
