BTS's legendary record that even colored Italy

I am truly proud of the news that BTS’s 5th studio album, 'Arirang,' has received Platinum certification in the Italian music market, making them the first K-pop artist to do so. It feels even more meaningful that this valuable achievement of Platinum was accomplished just about six months after receiving Gold certification last April. I believe this result was possible not merely through album sales, but because fans around the world have consistently listened to and loved our music.

In particular, the fact that they have remained on the Billboard 200 for 32 consecutive weeks is truly amazing. The very fact that they continue to be loved over time seems to demonstrate the inherent strength of BTS's music. As a fan, I cannot express how proud I am to see the title track 'SWIM' continuing to perform well on global charts.

The record of selling out all 14 shows across 5 cities during the South American tour and performing for a whopping 853,000 fans is truly worthy of the title "legend." Now that we are eagerly awaiting news of the world tour continuing in Southeast Asia, we look forward to their future endeavors even more. We are truly proud of BTS for not staying in just one country but creating new records all over the globe. We hope that all the achievements they have built so far will serve as the beginning of an even greater history, and we will continue to support them with unwavering hearts so that the seven members can continue performing on stage in health and happiness!
