Will BTS be the next artist interviewed on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show? ARMY certainly thinks so!
On Tuesday (March 17), Lowe shared a video to his social media accounts that sent ARMY into a frenzy. In the captionless clip, the camera pans around the Apple Music show host standing in a dance studio that is empty, save a for single basketball hoop. For some, it may seem that Lowe is just hanging out in an vacant room. For ARMY, the post is a major hint at what’s to come.
“No caption needed. For the room, those floors & that mirror! Wykyk!” one person commented on his Instagram post.
“I know what this means…… BTS INTERVIEW,” replied a BTS fan account.
Billboard has reached out to Apple Music for comment.
Turns out the empty studio Lowe is wandering around is not just any studio — it appears to be the BTS practice room. The K-pop juggernauts have shared many videos and pictures from their evolving practice room over the years. One dance practice video from an iteration of the practice room three years ago has more than 172 million views on YouTube. With numbers like that, it’s no wonder fans were quick to recognize what appears to be the BTS studio in Lowe’s video.
His clip comes just days before BTS is set to make its grand return to music after a yearslong hiatus. The group originally announced its break in 2022, citing desires to work on solo projects and the need to complete South Korea’s mandatory conscription. With all seven of the members having completed their service as of last year, they reunited for the first time and shared that they would soon make their return. Finally, after months of fans hoping and waiting, BTS announced in January that its fifth studio album, ARIRANG, will be released on March 20.
Alongside the album, the band will also be putting on its first concert since 2022 on March 21. The show, which is happening in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, will livestream on Netflix. The streaming giant will also release BTS: The Return, a behind-the-scenes documentary following the band’s reunion and return to the 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.”
