BTS Members' Future Projects and Collaborations: Predictions for 2021
As the year 2021 unfolds, the global fan base of K-pop superstars BTS is eagerly anticipating exciting new projects from each member. From solo music endeavors to thrilling collaborations with renowned artists, there's a lot to look forward to. In this article, we delve into the predicted activities for each member, exploring solo works and potential music collaborations.
Solo Works
1. Jung Kook (JK): Despite hints at a mixtape, it's unlikely that JK will release one before the end of the year. He has been teasing it since quarantine began, but the project still seems distant. Meanwhile, JK's drumming skills are impressive, but they don't necessarily foretell the style of his upcoming solo work.
2. V: Some fans predict that V will release a mixtape either in the middle of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter of 2021. This project might take the form of a mini-album rather than a full studio album. There's a sense of "stigma" associated with this release, potentially due to external pressures.
3. Jimin: Known for his unpredictability, Jimin's solo work will be interesting. He appears to be focused on developing his singing skills and is guarded in announcing his mixtape release due to the pressures exerted on him and V from fans.
4. RM: While it's possible that RM could release a mixtape, it's more likely to be a single or EP consisting of no more than five songs. RM's unpredictability makes it challenging to pinpoint, but his track record suggests something along these lines.
5. J-Hope: Given the success of the "Blue Side," J-Hope is more likely to release a single rather than a full album in 2021. His career revolves more around dancing and choreography, making an extended music project less likely.
6. Suga: Suga might not be releasing a mixtape anytime soon. His previous projects, such as AGUST D and D-2, suggest that his focus might remain on group activities for now.
7. Jin: It's highly improbable that Jin will release a whole mixtape in 2021. He tends to release singles more frequently than full projects, which suits his image and preference.
MUSIC COLLABORATIONS
1. The Weeknd: The collaboration between The Weeknd and BTS would be a dream come true for many fans. Both artists are at the top of their game, and a joint project could push the boundaries of both genres, potentially overshadowing the Grammy Awards.
2. Ariana Grande: While perhaps a stretch, the idea of BTS collaborating with Ariana Grande is not completely out of the question. Their previous collaboration with Nicki Minaj came as a surprise, and this could be another surprising and exciting collaboration.
3. Finneas: Fans are also anticipating a potential collaboration between BTS and Finneas, the talented producer behind Billie Eilish's music. Finneas' ability to produce hits for diverse artists makes a collaboration with BTS highly intriguing.
4. TBA: There are other potential collaborations to watch out for, especially with rising artists. For instance, Holland's budding career might lead to interesting projects.
Conclusion
2021 promises to be an exciting year for BTS, both in solo endeavors and collaborations with other artists. While some projects seem more likely than others, the unpredictability of the K-pop phenomenon ensures that fans will be captivated by whatever BTS chooses to do next. As the year progresses, stay tuned for updates and be prepared for the unexpected!
