BTS Rap Monstar of My Universe Fame revealed his desire to perform in front of Army. Coldplay and BTS released “My Universe” on Sept. 24. After the song was released, Big Hit Music, BTS’ label, released a documentary titled Coldplay X BTS Inside ‘My Universe’ Documentary.
In the documentary, fans watched Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook of BTS work with Coldplay’s Chris Martin to record the song.
“I think it’s very special to me that the most popular artist in the world speaks Korean and is like a group of brothers not from the West. And it just feels very hopeful to me in terms of thinking of the world as one family,” Martin said of BTS in Coldplay X BTS Inside ‘My Universe’ Documentary.
The Coldplay singer continued, “Then of course, when you see who they are as people and their songs. It’s really a message of togetherness and finding, being yourself. All the stuff I agree with.”
BTS Rap Monstar – I wrote the lyrics while picturing the day we reunite with ARMY
During the documentary, Rap Monstar (RM) shared that he hoped to make the song special for ARMY since the lyrics involve making the listener the center of BTS and Coldplay’s “universe.”
“Chris said that this is a very personal song to him. A part of him is frustrated by the fact that Coldplay can’t play live, in a concert,” RM said. “I thought about how to make this relevant to BTS. Since the lyrics go ‘You are my universe,’ this song should definitely be dedicated to ARMY.”

The BTS rapper RAP Monstar also explained his thought process behind writing some of the lyrics for “My Universe.” Not only did RM want to give the song a special meaning for ARMY, but he also wrote the lyrics for the single while thinking about performing for ARMY again.
“I wrote the lyrics while picturing the day we reunite with ARMY,” RM said.
It turns out ARMY will not have to wait that long to see BTS in person again. On Nov. 27, Nov. 28, Dec. 1, and Dec. 2, BTS will perform four concerts at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The concerts are known as Permission to Dance On Stage – LA.
A press release about the concerts reads:
“… BTS have announced their additional show dates for 2021 in North America with four special nights at LA’s SoFi Stadium on November 27, November 28, December 1, and December 2. The in-person concert will proceed under the national and regional health regulations and circumstances. This concert will be the first time ever for BTS and ARMY to meet face to face since the 2019 BTS WORLD TOUR ‘LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF’ [THE FINAL].”
There are multiple presales for BTS’ upcoming concerts on Ticketmaster, and tickets will go on sale for the general public on Oct. 9.
BTS are no strangers to scoring hit singles almost anywhere in the world, especially in their home country of South Korea. This week is especially notable for the septet, as they collect a new top 10 smash as two of their most recent wins continue to succeed on the Gaon Digital chart, which ranks the most popular, most-consumed songs in South Korea every week using a methodology that combines sales, streaming and what is called BGM, which stands for background music (which is usually used in various forms of media).
As The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” keeps at No. 1 for another week, BTS claim three spaces inside just the top 10 on the Gaon Digital chart. The band’s new single “My Universe,” a collaboration with Codlplay, jumps more than 10 rungs to No. 2, narrowly missing out on becoming another leader for the septet. Down at No. 7 comes “Permission to Dance,” while “Butter” returns to the highest tier once again, lifting a pair of slots to find space at No. 10.
BTS’s surging “My Universe” pushes the next three highest-ranking tracks down several spots, with Lee Moo-jin’s “Traffic Light,” Aespa’s “Next Level” and D-Hack and Pateko’s “Okayo My Night” all slipping one rung apiece. Those cuts land at Nos. 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
