Singer PSY to President Moon Jae-in is celebrating BTS' Billboards achievement.
First, singer PSY celebrated BTS' entry into the top 10 of the US Billboards' "Hot 100" chart (Billboards main music chart). "Stronger. Proud," he said on his Twitter account on Thursday, citing an official Billboards Twitter post with a Billboards article link. Along with the tribute, he added even the 'Thumb Chuck' emoticon.
PSY has been in second place for seven consecutive weeks in the Billboards 'Hot 100' with the previous hit song 'Gangnam Style' in 2012. Following him, he seems to express his gratitude to his juniors who have received Billboards and are once again in the status of Korean singers.
President Moon said in a Billboards announcement on the 28th that BTS' Billboards' first place news was announced in advance, "I congratulate the wings of the seven boys and boys who love singing," and "BTS has taken a step further toward the world stage. From now on, I have to remember each name of Jean, Sugar, Jay Hop, RM, Ji Min, Bhu, and seven boys in the country. "
BTS responded through the official SNS, "I can really believe it with my eyes. President Moon Jae-in! Thank you for celebrating BTS' Billboards # 1." "I was really impressed by our support for Ami (ARMY and fan clubs) above all," he said, promising to "try to impress more people in the future."
The executive producer of Big Hit Entertainment, Bang Si-hyuk, also retweeted President Moon's congratulatory tweets and expressed his joy.
BTS' new album LOVE YOURSELF "Tear" topped the list on "Billboards 200" and "FAKE LOVE" topped the list on "Hot 100," according to the latest chart released by Billboards on Thursday (June 2).
The Korean singer's simultaneous entry into the Hot 100 and Billboards 200 was the first time in September last year that BTS recorded its own record on both charts and set the highest record for Korean singers. This is the result of proving the popularity of the world as well as BTS' FAKE LOVE as well as LOVE YOURSELF 'Tear' album.
In particular, BTS is the first Korean singer to be ranked in the top 10 in 'Hot 100' including 'Billboards 200' in the first week of the release of the new album.
Billboards said on the 27th and 29th of last month, "BTS ranked first in the Billboards 200 for the first time on the Kpop album, and entered the top 10 in the FAKE LOVE, "He said.
Meanwhile, BTS has been ranked #1 on the iTunes' Top Albums charts in 65 regions around the world and #8 on the UK's Official Albums Chart Top 100 shortly after the album's release, as well as the Billboards chart, with all of the album's songs entering the "Global Top 200" charts of the world's largest music streaming company Sportify.
