NEVER MIND

JIMIN IS INDEED A MASTERPIECE

200901 President Moon Jae-In’s Tweet

BTS has achieved its first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, writing a new chapter in K-pop history as the first Korean band to do so. After having topped the Billboard 200 main album chart four times, they have now reached No. 1 on both charts. It is truly amazing. It is a splendid feat that further raises pride in K-pop. The song “Dynamite,” which topped the list, is all the more meaningful as it has been composed to give a message of comfort and hope to people around the world who are struggling with COVID-19. It will bring huge consolation to Koreans suffering from the national crisis caused by COVID-19. I offer my heartfelt congratulations.

President Moon Jae-In-nim, thank you for your warm words of congratulations this time as well. These are hard times but we hope that our song can provide even just a little bit of solace and positive energy. We believe that Korea and the cities all around the world will get back their vigor and be rejuvenated with a bright light once again, and we will put our all into what we do best—music.⭐
