"Thanks BTS, love for the ARMY," he said at the end of the clip.
The lines that Elton sang were the continuation to the verse that BTS leader and rapper RM sang in an earlier post, which specifically mentioned the icon by name: 'When it all seems like it's wrong, just sing along to Elton John, and to that feeling, we're just getting started.'

In the video he posted on Twitter, RM wore clothes inspired by Elton's style. He also tagged Elton, who had followed them on the social media platform shortly after the release of the song.
Elton also participated in BTS's Permission to Dance challenge on YouTube Shorts, which invites fans to replicate the core dance moves from the "Permission to Dance" music video.
"Permission to Dance," BTS's third English single, debuted at no. 1 at the Billboard Hot 100 chart when it was released in July.
It comes at the heels of the highly successful "Butter," which topped the same chart for nine weeks. —JCB, GMA News
