Suga: "Until now I still can't believe it. I don't think it's true that we got No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I was once asked about what my goal was for 'Dynamite', and I answered that I want this song to reach No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. But I can't believe that this dream has come true. Thank you ARMY for realizing this dream. We will not be complacent and will continue to work harder."

I started out on this path because I like music and choreography, but I never thought my group could top the Hot 100 chart. I felt overwhelmed because our work has paid off. I want to share all of this glory with the fans."
Jimin: "We did not release 'Dynamite' to break records, we just want this song to be a comfort for someone. But then we received this wonderful and surprising news, and I felt very happy and grateful. Thank you, my group members for always working hard. And thank you, our fans who always love and support us."
V: "This is the thing that every singer dreamed of, but I never imagined that we could reach No.1 on Billboard Hot 100. When I first heard this news, I couldn't believe it, and even when I see it myself, I was still amazed. Thanks to ARMY, another dream of BTS came true. Thank you, and we will continue to work harder."
Jungkook: "When I first heard the news that the group achieved No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, I thought it was a dream, it was really a happy moment. Thank you, ARMY. This achievement makes me curious about where the limits of BTS and ARMY really are. And I feel that I need to continue to challenge myself as well as work harder in the future. Once again, thank you for trusting and supporting us."
