K-pop band BTS have denied reports they are due to appear on a Michael Jackson tribute album.<\/p>\n

The group were also said to be in line to record an unreleased track written by the singer at an Irish recording studio during a stay in the country in 2006.<\/p>\n

Some fan accounts linked the Korean act to a report in The Sun<\/a> that originally said the group were among “superstar artists” due to make new versions for the album before the claim was removed.<\/p>\n

In a message on X<\/a>, BTS posted a message stating that the idols had not been “in any recording sessions at the location mentioned” and that the group was not “involved in the tribute album in any capacity”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The band’s management moved to squash the rumours after some fan accounts announced their involvement in the project, with some even stating that recording sessions had taken place.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, Jackson spent time at Grouse Lodge Studios, County Westmeath, in 2006 after being acquitted of child abuse allegations.<\/p>\n

Studio owner Paddy Dunny told the paper Jackson was working on a planned comeback during his time in Ireland, but died in 2009 before completing work on the project. <\/p>\n

A quote attributed to Mr Dunny – which was removed from a later version of the story – said BTS had been at the site to record one of the songs he left behind.<\/p>\n

BTS have been compared to the so-called “King of Pop” by critics due to their cultural impact and international fame.<\/p>\n

They were also mentioned in a documentary marking the 40th anniversary of Thriller, one of Jackson’s most famous hits.<\/p>\n

BTS are set to return next year after going on hiatus in 2022 due to mandatory military service laws in South Korea.<\/p>\n

BBC Newsbeat has approached Grouse Lodge Studios and The Sun’s publishers for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
