Filipino ARMY are in for a treat with this dope collaboration of the animated Bangtan Boys, TinyTAN, as part of Smart’s “New Universe” experience
Two months since BTS Festa, ARMY has more proof now that Chapter Two of BTS is looking to be more exciting than ever. While everyone initially thought that the boys were going to be on a dreaded hiatus, they will only be taking a break from major group activities and will focus on their solo projects. So yes, we’ll still be seeing them on the reg.

Since this announcement, each Bangtan member is getting the hang of pursuing their interests and partnering with the who’s who in the music industry. From V having his fashion moment in France for Paris Fashion Week, to Jung Kook enjoying another week at the top with his feature on Charlie Puth’s track, to J-Hope becoming the first South Korean to headline Lollapalooza, to RM and Suga prepping for their respective music ventures, and to Jin and Jimin (along with V and Jung Kook) featuring in a song with benny blanco and Snoop Dogg—the 21st-century music icons have only barely scratched the surface.
With every VLive, Bangtan Bomb, and new vLogs by the Tannies, ARMY is really feeling the euphoria of being well-fed with fire content despite not being constantly together like they used to.
But, hold up! Just as the boys may be going on a break from group activities, a bunch of familiar faces are also getting their share of the spotlight this time. Not to steal their thunder, their animated counterparts, TinyTAN, are also here to make some noise with their latest collaboration with the Philippines’ very own, Smart Communications.
Permission to collab
Following the successful endorsement of BTS with telecommunications giant, Smart, the cutest TinyTAN members are sweetly taking center stage this time to bring a ton of delight to Filipino ARMY.
Launched in 2019 and licensed by BigHit Music under Hybe Co., Ltd, TinyTAN, the animated version of the most popular South Koreans of the 21st century, Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS), projects a personality that is pretty much a representation of each BTS member with a unique narrative in the TinyTAN universe.
