We are infinitely thankful for ARMYs everywhere who listen and watch us, move their hearts, and respond to us."

Another member, Suga, added by saying, "It feels surreal to be on the Billboard chart that I had only dreamed of. It is not because we did well but because our fans gave us a lot of affection. I want to thank our fans."
