The K-pop band BTS has made a comeback with the release of ARIRANG, which marks their first album in more than three years. The band marked the special occasion with a live concert in Seoul this Saturday, drawing a large number of audiences. Netflix even streamed the event in real time, making the celebration an even grander event. Meanwhile, even as music lovers go gaga over the comeback of BTS, a photograph featuring the band's youngest singer Jungkook and India's own Arijit Singh has been going viral online.

Sharing the image, a 'Jungkook' account on Instagram claimed that the singer met Arijit during his recent visit to India. The viral post also said that Jungkook congratulated Arijit Singh on his journey as a singer, following his recent retirement from playback singing, and that they have worked on a song together.

"We created a song… something honest, something from the heart. I hope you can feel what we felt while making it. It will be released very soon," the post said.

However, it appears to be an AI-generated post, purporting that Jungkook and Arijit Singh have met and collaborated on a song. It is not the actual Instagram account of Jungkook, who recently came back to the social media platform after deleting his account a few years ago. Interestingly, there is only one post on his official account, and that is a Calvin Klein commercial featuring him.

Coming back to Arijit Singh, even as he has announced his retirement as a playback singer, fans are in awe of his song 'Phir Se' from director Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh. Interestingly, the track is not listed in the film's album on streaming platforms but rather is available as a separate single.
