Halsey and BTS have one of the best friendships in the music industry!

Since meeting at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, they have developed a great bond.
From it, great collaborations have been created, such as the 2019 hit song “Boy With Luv.”
They’re always there for each other through highs and lows at any milestone. Halsey supported BTS at their PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE concerts in L.A.
And, the members congratulated Halsey on the birth of their first child, Ender Ridley Aydin.
@halsey Congratulations !!

Halsey and BTS continually show love and support to one another regardless of location or time difference. And, ARMYs couldn’t help but notice a familiar face in a post made by Halsey…

Halsey shared a photo on their Instagram Stories, revealing that they received a box of Korean snacks. At the center of the box was a limited edition bottle of Lotte‘s Xylitol gum with Suga‘s face on it from BTS’s collaboration.

Halsey didn’t specify if it was a gift or they specifically ordered the items. They just said, “special delivery made my day.” And, upon looking closely, one can see a card that reads, “Dear. Ashley (Halsey’s real name)” with the word “Happy.”

So, ARMYs are speculating that this was actually a gift sent by none other than Suga himself (hence the gum with his face on it) in honor of the second anniversary of Halsey’s Manic album. The album was released January 17, 2020, and includes their collaboration track “SUGA’s Interlude.”
I’ve connected the dots… so Yoongi sent a basket of treats for Halsey’s ‘Manic’ album anniversary which is coming up on the 17th… today is the 11th !! As we know Halsey ft. SUGA ‘SUGA’s interlude’ is on Manic and and you can see Yoongi’s merch in there !! @BTS_twt @halsey pic.twitter.com/SGkdTDJraQ

Some ARMYs speculated that this was a hint at another BTS and Halsey collab. They reminded us that before anything was confirmed for J-Hope and Becky G‘s “Chicken Noodle Soup“…

…Becky G had shared photos of Korean snacks on her Instagram Stories. So, Halsey may have be hinting in the same way.

Well, the Halsey and Suga collab actually did happen! In June 2023, the pair released “Lilith,” the anthem for game Diablo IV.
Also, if the package is truly from BTS, this wouldn’t be the first time the group surprised Halsey with Korean snacks. In 2017, the group gifted her a Snackfever box!
