The company stated:
“The reports about BTS recording at Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland and participating in the Michael Jackson tribute album are not true.”
BigHit added that BTS has never recorded at the mentioned studio and emphasized that it is taking steps to prevent the spread of inaccurate information. “We remain committed to supporting our artists,” the agency added.
