Diplo’s comments now add another major industry name to that growing list.

Diplo confirmed that he participated in the production of BTS’s upcoming album ARIRANG, though specific details about his role have not yet been disclosed.

The collaboration between BTS and a Grammy-winning global producer has heightened anticipation for the release. With Diplo’s endorsement of Jungkook’s vocal ability, expectations surrounding the project have only intensified.
