It showcases how far they\u2019ve come by being celebrated in love in a country miles away from where they began. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>[metaslider id=33093]<\/p>\n<p>She said they were inspired by the global CONNECT BTS project, where BTS collaborated with local artists across the globe: from Seoul, Berlin, London, New York to Buenos Aires to exchange and share messages in different art forms connected to BTS&#8217;s music.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Springs 15, a test-bed platform to support innovation, they commissioned the local \u201cKids of Arabia\u2019 team, known for their funky art portraiture with the project.<\/p>\n<p>Anne-Laure Roy, Co-Founder of Kids of Arabia, said: \u201cThe biggest challenge so far has been to decide on the shape and material of the monument. For this reason, we decided to use the logo of both BTS and Army.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that the team were excited at the idea of putting their trademark art on portraits of worldwide famous pop stars, and added: \u201cI hope it represents happiness and brings smiles, lots of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33133\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33133\" class=\"wp-image-33133 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/03\/annelaureroy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Founder Anne-Laure Roy<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_33135\" style=\"width: 307px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33135\" class=\"wp-image-33135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/03\/koa-artwork-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"297\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kids of Arabia artwork (from https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kidsofarabia\/)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>BTS UAE and Springs 15 are urging all fellow fans to support the first-of-its-kind project.
