- Claims surfaced about BTS visiting Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland.
- The agency emphasized its commitment to combating misinformation.
BigHit Music has officially addressed and denied recent media speculation linking BTS to a posthumous Michael Jackson tribute album. The rumors originated after fan site MJ Vibe and The Irish Sun quoted Grouse Lodge Studio owner Paddy Dunning, who alleged that BTS recorded an unreleased track written by Jackson in 2006.
The agency reiterated that the group is currently focused on their own creative endeavors, including their long-awaited comeback. With members gradually completing their mandatory military service, BTS is expected to reunite in 2025.
No Moonwalk Here: BTS Not Part of Alleged Michael Jackson Tribute Album
BigHit Music’s firm denial comes after a viral wave of excitement and confusion online, where fans debated the authenticity of claims that BTS had recorded a Michael Jackson track. Some fans expressed excitement over a potential cross-generational collaboration, while others questioned the validity of the sources involved.
The studio at the heart of the rumor, Grouse Lodge in Ireland, is known for hosting global artists, including Jackson himself during a five-month creative retreat in 2006. It was during that time that the late pop icon reportedly penned tracks for a possible comeback album—songs which, until now, have remained unreleased.
This incident underscores the challenges faced by major entertainment agencies in an era of rapid information sharing. BigHit Music’s swift and transparent response illustrates its dedication to protecting its artists from the impact of misleading reports and rumors that can damage credibility or fan trust.
Looking ahead, BTS’s reunion album—expected as early as spring 2026—is likely to be a major global event. The group’s last full album was released nearly five years ago, and the upcoming project is anticipated to mark a new chapter in their journey as artists returning after military service.
BTS’s focus remains firmly on their own music and future projects, as BigHit Music distances the group from speculative collaborations and false narratives.
