Jin reveals BTS’ feelings towards their hit track Dynamite

In the episode of Screwballs, Jin dropped a bomb on his fans as he shared, “We were very lucky. Here's the thing with "Dynamite." It was never the song that the members favored.” He continued, “We had a scheduled tour, but it got canceled due to the pandemic. We couldn't just idle, so our agency prepared three demos for us. Dynamite was the first one we heard. We asked for alternatives, but we liked the other two less.” The singer added, “We weren't exactly thrilled about it,” as reported by Sportskeeda.

In 2020, "Dynamite" became a global sensation, debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and making BTS the first all-South Korean act to top the chart. The single sold an impressive 265,000 downloads in its first week, making it the biggest sales week for any song since Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” in 2017.
