Nexon has announced that 2D MMORPG MapleStory will be getting an in-game collaboration with megastar pop group BTS.

MapleStory initially launched in 2003 and in a series of new videos, BTS group members discuss their history with the franchise including their childhoods memories of the game.

It’s a massive crossover that’s leading to an announcement of an in-game MapleStory x BTS crossover. Looking at the first episode of MapleStory X BTS on Youtube (already over a million views), the comments section is full of BTS super-fans who have come to watch their favourite pop group discuss a game they haven’t played before. It’s a massive get for Nexon and MapleStory given BTS’ worldwide phenomenal star-power, it could give MapleStory a considerable push to an international audience. 

Check out the first episode below. Youtube’s English captions did a decent job for me. The group has an almost contagious level of excitement when discussing MapleStory.
