They wouldn't be able to use it anyway because BTS has already used it so many times..let's not forget the McDonald's deal.

At least they know what's good for them. That phrase was coined by Taehyung and has been repeatedly used since 2016 by BTS and ARMYs. There is no way they can claim that "Borahae" is rightfully theirs.
