A potential dream collaboration between global K-pop sensation BTS and Indian music icon Arijit Singh is creating waves online, following HYBE’s announcement of its expansion into India.
On June 30, 2025, HYBE—the South Korean entertainment powerhouse behind BTS, TXT, and SEVENTEEN—revealed plans to launch a subsidiary in Mumbai.
The move has triggered massive excitement among Indian K-pop fans, with many speculating that the company’s strategic step could finally open the doors for long-anticipated live concerts and major collaborations in the region.
According to Korean media reports, HYBE stated, “We are currently carrying out local market research and managing the practical steps needed to establish the corporation, with the aim of launching around September or October.”
This bold expansion not only marks a deeper connection with the Indian entertainment market but also fuels hopes for collaborative projects between HYBE artists and Indian superstars. At the center of speculation is the possibility of BTS teaming up with Arijit Singh, one of India’s most beloved and versatile vocalists.
Desi ARMYs—Indian fans of BTS—have long dreamed of such a collaboration, and HYBE’s move has reignited that hope. Social media platforms lit up with excitement, with fans imagining the blend of Arijit’s soulful voice and BTS’s dynamic performance style.
The new Indian branch of HYBE is expected to play a key role in promoting Korean music and culture to a broader South Asian audience. It will also provide local artists and fans with greater access to K-pop through concerts, partnerships, and localized content.
While no official confirmation of a BTS × Arijit Singh collaboration has been made yet, the timing of HYBE’s India office launch and increasing global music crossovers suggest it might not be far-fetched.
With HYBE targeting a late 2025 launch, fans are keeping their fingers crossed for major announcements that could reshape the global music landscape—and finally bring BTS to perform on Indian soil.
