It’s time to wave your lightsticks, BTS fans! That’s because our boys are collaborating in an anonymous way with the animated film “Despicable Me 4.” The film has a hilarious trailer that has been out since January of this year, hinting at its July 3, 2024 release date.
The excitement began to build since June 12, when various “BTS x DM4” promotional posters were spotted in Los Angeles. The promo features hearts in the colors black, yellow, and purple. The final color denotes the unmistakable connection to BTS—it has been linked to the boy band for many years.
