Seoul — It has been confirmed by news outlet Newsen on Jun 27 with BTS’s agency Big Hit Entertainment that Ed Shereen will be participating in the production of BTS’s new song.

Having said that, it is not certain if the collaboration will be included in the single Butter that will be released on Jul 9. When contacted, Big Hit also said it is “difficult to confirm” whether the song will be released in Jul.
