Won First Position On The Billboard Hot 100, Korean President Congrats BTS

JAKARTA - BTS is again setting a new record with the song Dynamite. Today, Tuesday, September 1, Billboard announced that BTS broke the record as the first South Korean musician to reach No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with this song.

Dynamite songs were recorded to reach 33 million streams and sales of more than 300 thousand in the first week of release. The sales figures continued to grow after BigHit Entertainment released Dynamite on vinyl and cassette.

South Korean President Moon Jae In wrote his congratulations on his personal Twitter account. “It's amazing to see honor so much higher in the K-pop industry. The song Dynamite, which made it into the rankings, is very meaningful because it gives a message of support and hope for a world that is facing COVID-19. "

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.

"This will be a great consolation for the Korean people who are facing a national crisis due to COVID-19. I congratulate you, "he wrote.

Previously, BTS had reached # 4 on the Billboard chart for the song ON released in March. But it doesn't feel like it took 1 year to improve BTS's achievements because now they are officially the first Korean group to get this achievement.

On the same day, BTS also celebrated the birthday of one of its members, Jungkook.

Through the trending #HappyWeMetJK, ARMY congratulates BTS and Jungkook on the success of BTS and Jungkook, who are now 24 years old.

BTS has also performed the Dynamite song for the first time through the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) and received 4 awards, including Best K-pop and Best Pop. Congratulations to BTS!
