Today TikTok can also confirm that BTS' TikTok account will go LIVE using the in-app LIVE feature for the very first time on June 17th at 7pm KST. The LIVE will be an exclusive vertical TikTok livestream, which will feature a talk show and performance by RM, which will be a special moment when leader RM communicates with fans onsite at the ARMY Lounge on the banks of the Han River in Seoul, accompanied by a firework display. TikTok is also releasing customised TikTok location tags that fans at the LIVE venue can use to share their experience on TikTok.

We can also confirm that BTS has passed 60m followers on TikTok during the #10yrswithBTS campaign. BTS is the most searched-for music artist on TikTok worldwide*.

TikTok is celebrating the band's major milestone via a series of events and campaigns, including a #10yrsWithBTS hashtag challenge and unique effect, a community-created compilation video as well as unique and exclusive footage to support the group's upcoming new single; all designed to celebrate ten years of BTS together with their global community of 60 million followers on the platform.

The 'New release' feature on TikTok
Today TikTok announces the release of the 'new release' feature on TikTok, a new feature which helps artists highlight a new track to fans for up to 14 days before release, and for 30 days after release. The 'new release' feature allows artists to highlight new releases in the Music Tab, in the For You Feed and on their Music Page. To use the 'New release' feature, artists simply need to upload song clips to TikTok, and (if these songs are within the new song promotion period) artists will see a pop-up to remind them to highlight the song.
