1) BTS got double platinum in Japan for fake love/airplane pt 2 in just one month. RIAJ said the singles sold more than 500,000 now.

2) Dope mv reached 400 million views today

3) Love yourself: answer stays at no 1 on billboard world album chart. (tear no.3, Her no.4 and face yourself no. 9)

4) Love yourself: answer has surpassed 1 million sales at hanteo chart. BTS is the only artist in hanteo history to sell over 1 million copies of an INDIVIDUAL album (not combining repackage album or other language)
