Bees 'count' numbers in increasing size from left to right, study reveals

<p>K-Pop star Jungkook from popular boy band BTS has collaborated with singer Charlie Puth for a groovy and peppy number.&nbsp;The duo has dropped their single 'Left and Right' on YouTube and fans are super excited to see the two share screen space.</p>

<p>The track is both colourful and soothing and that's exactly what the fans expect from the two musical geniuses.</p>

<p>In the 2-minute-long video, they are seen displaying their bromance while crooning&nbsp;the upbeat love song. Dressed in matching outfits, the two looked&nbsp;every bit handsome in the music video. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This track is special because it marks the first major collaboration by a BTS member outside the band ever since the group announced that they are taking a break as a group to concentrate more on their solo projects.</p>
