For K-Pop superstars BTS, 2020 is turning out to be a good year, with the group becoming the first Korean act to debut at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, if only they could. celebrate with your fans.
The group’s first English-language song, ‘Dynamite’ recorded nearly 34 million views in the United States and 300,000 sales in its first week, the largest digital sales week for any artist in nearly three years.
“It feels real, but at the same time a bit unreal because we can’t meet our fans, we can’t go to some kind of award or performance,” said RM, the South Korean rapper, songwriter and leader of BTS.
“It’s like we’re very grateful but … we’re so sad at the same time,” he said.
Since their debut in 2013, the South Korean boy band has surfed the worldwide K-Pop craze to dizzying heights. When asked why they were successful over countless other K-Pop groups, the members are unsure.
“All I know is that we came together and did the best we could. That’s it, and before we knew it, we reached a height we had never imagined, “said Jimin.
But with great success comes pressure.
“It would be a lie to say that it is not a burden. But personally, I think a suitable amount is good for us. We just see it as one of the burdens we have to carry, ”said J-Hope.
The seven-member group’s ultimate goal is to get a Grammy nomination and win, though they question whether there is a place for them in America.
“The solo performance or the Grammy nomination is like one of our last dreams. So, we will continue to do our best and hope we can touch the hearts of the people at the Recording Academy one day, ”said RM.
