Queen Comment on BTS’ ‘Butter’ Single

The clip has racked up more than 26 million views in its first 24 hours, and nearly as many comments about the similarity to the Queen classic, including an avalanche of puns, including “Another One Bites the Butter.” The tweet from the English rockers appeared to confirm that the similarity was not accidental but seemingly a superstar collaboration on the song that will drop on Friday (May 21).

Some eagle-eyed ARMY members also pointed out that BTS’ Jin performed a loving tribute to Mercury’s signature “whoa-oh” chant when the band made history in 2019 when they were the first K-pop group to sell out Wembley Stadium. Spokespeople for BTS and Queen had not returned requests for comment at press time.
