[2846👍 532👎] Hearing lots of good things domestically as well as abroad. Supporting them.



[2867👍 596👎] When I didn't know Bangtan, I didn't know what song they sang and after becoming a fan, Boy in Luv, I NEED U, Run, FIRE, Save Me, Blood, Sweat and Tears etc... all the songs I think are good are all from Bangtan...





[2699👍 562👎] But Bangtan songs are all really good.. Of course it's my personal preference but I became a fan from listening to Bangtan's song(s).



[2594👍 576👎] Bangtan is daebak. I didn't know their popularity was this big





[2099👍 453👎] No matter what, I love Bangtan ❤️



[554👍 71👎] As expected, (BTS) is the best





[105👍 6👎] The reason this is amazing is because, this wasn't counting repackaged albums. They sold 700 000 individual albums, and what's more is that the members themselves produced the songs and it includes the members' solo tracks. Truly unable to contain Bangtan's chart destruction* Thank you for not giving up on your music even in the midst of your busy schedule.
