Her post featured a series of emojis, including a horse, a purple heart, and side-eye emojis, with an X symbol placed between the first two emojis.

These speculations gained more traction when the official BTS account on X quoted Megan’s post, adding a hedgehog and a koala emoji to the mix. This subtle response led fans to believe that the collaboration might involve RM, one of BTS’s members, whose BT21 character is a koala named Koya. The hedgehog emoji is thought to be a playful reference to RM’s current hairstyle, according to All Kpop.
Fans have been buzzing with excitement since the interaction, speculating about the nature of the collaboration. Some fans wondered if the collaboration might be tied to the upcoming film *Sonic the Hedgehog 3* due to the inclusion of the hedgehog emoji, while others speculated that the emojis could hint at the title or theme of the upcoming song.
Megan Thee Stallion and BTS previously collaborated on the remix of BTS’s hit song “Butter” in 2021, and their collaboration agreement reportedly includes two more songs—one for BTS and one for Megan. The latest exchange on X has left fans eagerly anticipating the next track, with many taking to social media to express their excitement.
One fan on X wrote, “OMG OMG Something is coming,” while another exclaimed, “It’s the swap we were waiting for!!” Other fans echoed the excitement, with comments like “OH MY GOD YESSSS, WE WON!!! WE WILL ALL BE STREAMING!!!” and “Oh the world is not ready for this duo.”
