BTS’ Jin and j-hope’s recent collaboration with Visit Singapore has sparked tourism ambassadorship speculations among fans online. Recently, the two BTS members have been seen using the hashtag #VisitSingapore on their social media posts. This has led netizens to speculate whether the group would become the official tourism ambassadors of Singapore.
j-hope recently visited Singapore due to his solo concert HOPE ON THE STAGE, which took place on April 26 and 27, 2025. On May 10, he posted a reel on Instagram showcasing famous tourist spots with the caption,"#VisitSingapore Tourist Mode." The reel was reshared by the official handle of the Singapore tourism promotion page @visit_singapore. Moreover, Jin also dropped his upcoming song, Don't Say You Love Me MV teaser, which featured scenes filmed at the National Gallery Singapore.
BIGHIT MUSIC unveiled the Jin dial, an online prompt where fans dial numbers, which leads them to a digital Polaroid image taken during the filming of the music video. Netizens found that the number 4878 led them to the popular Singapore Flyer Ferris wheel. Meanwhile, the number 78278 showcased the photo of the Cloud Forest.
Furthermore, the official BTS Instagram page used the same hashtag #VisitSingapore and tagged @visit_singapore while sharing content related to Jin's upcoming album Echo. This has sent waves of excitement among Singaporean fans on social media. They turned to X to share their thoughts about the collaboration, anticipating an ambassador partnership.
"Singapore tourism ambassadors?" a fan said.
