BTS shared about their proudest achievements and memorable feedback from the public during a recent interview with Xports News.
When asked to name some of their proudest achievements, V answered, "It was the first time I saw our songs lining up on the music charts. Also, our last song 'Fire' remained at the top of the charts, which made me realize that our fans really support us."
Next, Rap Monster said, "Personally, I think we first have to do well in Korea in order to do well overseas. I admit that I was worried before our comeback because boy groups struggle to remain on Melon and other main music charts. I always worry about what we can do to make the public listen to our music, and how we can climb up the charts. It's been 3 days since the release of our new song, and it's been in the top 10 which is better results than our last promotion. That means a lot. As for our achievements overseas, I'm happy to see the results on iTunes in the U.S. I'm happy that we achieved #1 on the world's largest music market. Lastly, our views on YouTube are about to exceed 10 million. I heard the speed of the increase is the fastest after Psy sunbaenim. It makes me happy that we are achieving good results one by one in a fast pace."
The members also revealed some of the most memorable feedback they received from the public who do not call themselves ARMY. Jin said, "To be honest, we can only look at the feedback from our fans. It's hard to listen to the public since most comments are from our fans. But just looking at my friend's friend, the reality is that many don't know about BTS's music or comeback."
On a brighter note, Jimin answered, "I have a positive feedback to share. I paid extra attention to reactions this time because of the good results on charts. Then I saw a comment saying, 'I'm not a BTS fan, but I must admit they're good'. That made me happy and also say, 'Will this make Rap Monster hyung worry less?'"
Lastly, SUGA shared, "There's always someone who's saying, 'Their new song is not as good as their last one. 'I Need You' and 'Run' were good, but 'Fire' not so much. 'Fire' was good but not their new song.' As of now, I think the public's mind is still closed off against us. It is our duty to captivate not only our fans but also the public."
