Following the news, the President took to his official Twitter on September 1 to sincerely congratulate BTS on writing a new history.
President Moon's message reads as follows:
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.
It is truly amazing, and it is a splendid feat that further raises pride in K-pop.
The song 'Dynamite', which topped the list, is all the more meaningful as it has been composed to give a message of comfort and hope to people around the world who are struggling with COVID-19.
It will bring huge consolation to Koreans suffering from the national crisis caused by COVID-19. I offer my heartfelt congratulations.
