BTS Think They Have ‘Made It’ After Topping Billboard's 'Hot 100' Chart

While talking about making it to the top of the Billboard's "Hot 100" charts for the first time, BTS members said they couldn't believe it. They also talked about their upcoming plans during an online press conference that took place Wednesday.

BTS created history and became the first ever K-pop band to top the Billboard's "Hot 100" chart with its latest single "Dynamite" which was released on Aug. 21.

The President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, also applauded BTS for this historical achievement.

While talking about their latest success, the members expressed that they were in disbelief when they found out that they made it to the No.1 spot on Billboard, according to Koreajoongangdaily.

"We saw the picture of the chart and we first said, ‘Oh, that’s fake.’ Then we saw the same picture go up on the internet and that’s when we realized that we had really become No.1," said Jin while talking about the band's latest triumph.

"We were just so stunned, and we had to come up with what to say or what to post online, but all I can say at the end of the day is that BTS and ARMY did all of this together," he added.

Jimin who took to twitter to express his feelings on the victory and ended up staying awake all night said, "I really don’t know why I cried so much. But I heard the news at 4 a.m. and I ended up crying until the morning. I was with Jungkook and we were just so excited and cheering. Then at some point, I just stared at the chart."

"We talked a lot between the members, and the one thing we said the most was ‘We made it.’ It just felt like everything we did was being recognized — like it was being rewarded. It was like being told that we did good in times of such hardship," he added.

When asked about the key to the group's substantial success, RM mentioned that he "really doesn’t know."

"I know that the Hot 100 chart needs more than the fans, but I really don’t know how approachable we have become to the Western public, neither do I know the demarcation between the fans and public. But what I do know is that our past efforts played a role," he further added.

"I feel so fulfilled to see that the goals I made in the past have come true. But at the same time, I feel cautious about whether to say what the next goal is. Even for ‘Dynamite,’ as happy as we are that it reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart, the song was just meant to cheer people up going through tough times. We are ever so grateful that a lot of people enjoyed the song," added Suga.

"We feel lucky to have achieved what we have. I think it is our duty and responsibility to know that and keep doing what we have been doing with a humble heart," said RM.

The members also expressed that their next goal is to perform at the Grammy Awards.
