DJ Swivel Launches A Top Secret BTS Project
Psst! Can you keep a secret? DJ Swivel is inviting BTS fans to participate in a mysterious, new project.
Jordan “DJ Swivel” Young is a GRAMMY Award-winning Canadian music producer. He has collaborated with BTS on a number of albums including BTS, The Best, MAP OF THE SOUL: 7, MAP OF THE SOUL: Persona, the BTS WORLD OST, and LOVE YOURSELF: Tear. DJ Swivel is also credited as one of the producers for Jungkook‘s solo track, “Euphoria.”
Now, another type of collaboration is underway, this time between DJ Swivel and ARMY. On March 24, DJ Swivel tweeted a request for personal stories about ARMY’s life-changing experiences with BTS.
ARMY! I’m working on something pretty exciting and I need your help! @BTS_twt has impacted all of us in both subtle and profound ways. Some of you are casual fans, and for some of you, BTS has made a life-changing impact.

Given that both BTS and ARMY have been exploited in the past, some fans are skeptical about the project. Rather, they have chosen to wait for an official announcement from BTS’s agency, BigHit Music.
doesnt matter how many times DJ Swivel has worked w HYBE + BTS over the years. doesnt make these folks AUTOMATICALLY trustworthy. this project is such a “just trust me bro” situation & im not trusting jack shit until we’re given more information + proof. no one else should either

Other fans, however, are excited to participate and have encouraged their fellow ARMYs to join.
DJ Swivel is a long time collaborator of BTS, for iconic songs that like Magic Shop, Euphoria, Moon, Mikrokosmos, Heartbeat, Love Myself, to name a few. I wonder what it is he is working on but it sounds exciting and uplifting! Do submit your stories 👇🏼 https://t.co/iuPu8hJzpX

DJ Swivel has addressed ARMY’s concerns, stating that he is “in communication” with BTS and/or their agency.
We’re in communication yes. I’ve worked with the boys and BH/Hybe for 5 years. Nothing at this level gets done without communication.
