Another wrote, "Now Dr Tedros Director general of WHO is congratulating BTS and everything else has already been achieved by them , Is there anything left for them to achieve to show that they deserve exemption from military ?"

This is not the first time that Tedros has appreciated the boy band.

As 1.5 billion people in the world are affected by hearing loss; sign language can help them to continue enjoying music which can bring joy to life."

Permission to Dance is based on a pandemic-free and inclusive world in the near future. It is an upbeat track about spreading happiness through dance and music. The song recently debuted at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Prior to that, their song Butter had retained the top spot on the international music chart for seven weeks.
