“There are times when I’m still taken aback by all the unimaginable things that are happening. But I ask myself, “Who’s going to do this, if not us?'” Suga told Time.
“We’re not sure if we’ve actually earned respect. But one thing for sure is that (people) feel like, OK, this is not just some kind of a syndrome, a phenomenon. These little boys from Korea are doing this,” added RM.
The group also touched on their appreciation and connection they have continued to have with their fans throughout COVID-19. “I always wanted to become an artist that can provide comfort, relief, and positive energy to people,” J-Hope said. “That intent harmonized with the sincerity of our group and led us to who we are today.”
Congratulations to BTS on their achievement, and their constant love and the strong connection they have built with their fans.
