BTS made a new record following years of its success stories.

The FIFA World Cup will hype sports fans again as the highly anticipated event scheduled for this year's tournament in Qatar. Multiple news outlets confirmed that it would kick off on November 20 and last until December 18.

Ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the K-pop supergroup BTS hyped ARMYs worldwide by teaming up with Hyundai to drop the "Yet to Come" new version which would serve as a campaign song for the sports event.

Hyundai has been the official partner of FIFA for the past 23 years, and it improved its connection through its collaboration with BTS.

BTS released the track on Friday at 6:00 p.m. local time on several music platforms after releasing the one-minute preview video.

The K-pop group impressed the world again, as the members joined Hyundai Motor's Goal of the Century campaign by joining the project that encourages universal support for a sustainable environment and carbon neutrality.

The automotive company hired Team Century and BTS for its campaign.

Hyundai Motor CEO Chang Jae-hoon said, per Korea JoongAng Daily, "As one of the most influential global artists in the world, BTS and their music greatly influence our society to develop in a positive direction. Through the World Cup campaign with BTS, we hope to create an opportunity for people all over the world to unite towards one goal of sustainability and cheer each other up."

BTS "Yet To Come" New Version

The new version of BTS' hit song "Yet To Come" features the members singing and rapping the track from a rooftop while pictures taken during soccer games flash.

It ends with the seven members hugging each other while the words "The greatest moment is Yet to Come" appear on the screen.

The song has since gone viral, leading Hyundai to be on top of the trending list in less than an hour.

For BTS' part, it officially became the first K-pop group to perform at a world cup.

The original "Yet To Come" was first released in June 2022 as the lead single from their first anthology album "Proof." It also marked their first original Korean-language song in two years, following "Life Goes On" in 2020.

BTS members RM, Suga, and J-Hope collaborated with Dan Gleyzer, Pdogg, and Max in writing the track.
