"Every 🎶 has 2 sides: strategy & honesty don’t they? @BTS_twt is already a 🌍 superstar. I don’t think they [were] thinking ‘this single is going to be a big hit if we release it in Eng.’ That’s a shallow trick. I don’t think that is what happened.."+ @toojazzy25, Music Critic "In my opinion…Well, this is just my interpretation, I think the 🌍 fandom of BTS who supported the group from the start surely contributed to making the group a 🌍 superstar. The group has a particularly strong fanbase in North America." - @toojazzy25, Music Critic
