The never-ending BTS hysteria—the adorable, nearly genetically modified South Korean boyband delight—continues with the announcement of BTS World, a mobile simulation game that tasks players with launching the virtual band to stardom.
Released worldwide on June 26 (barring the U.S., which gets an earlier release date of June 25), the free mobile game will feature a new original soundtrack from BTS and other exclusive content, including 10,000 new photos and 100 exclusive video clips.

Pre-registration for the mobile game is available on the developer’s website, where each member of the band expresses their ideal traits for the perfect manager:
