Could BTS be the next guests on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show? Many ARMY members are convinced that might be the case.
On Tuesday (March 17), Lowe uploaded a short video to his social platforms that immediately caught the attention of BTS fans. The clip, which had no caption, shows the Apple Music host standing inside what looks like a dance studio. The space appears mostly empty except for a basketball hoop. While it may look like a simple behind the scenes moment to some viewers, fans of BTS believe it is a subtle clue about something bigger.
“No caption needed. For the room, those floors & that mirror! Wykyk!” one fan wrote under his Instagram post.
“I know what this means…… BTS INTERVIEW,” commented another account dedicated to the group.
Billboard has reached out to Apple Music for comment.
It seems the studio Lowe appeared in may not be random after all. Fans quickly pointed out that it closely resembles BTS’s well known practice room. Over the years the group has posted numerous photos and dance videos from different versions of their rehearsal space. One dance practice clip filmed in a previous version of the room about three years ago has collected more than 172 million views on YouTube. Given that level of recognition, it is easy to understand why fans quickly connected the location in Lowe’s video to BTS.
The timing of the clip is also notable since BTS is preparing for a major return following a long break. The group first announced their hiatus in 2022 as members focused on solo work and fulfilled South Korea’s required military service. After all seven members completed their service last year, they reunited and confirmed plans to return together. After months of anticipation, BTS revealed in January that their fifth studio album ARIRANG will arrive on March 20.
Along with the new album, the group is preparing for its first live performance since 2022, scheduled for March 21. The concert will take place at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul and will be streamed live on Netflix. The platform will also premiere BTS: The Return, a documentary that follows the group as they reunite and step back into the global spotlight.
“The most epic interviews are coming, and we’re putting our faith in our guys,” another BTS fan account commented on Lowe’s Instagram post. “Please show the world what BTS is all about, for those who don’t know.”
