BTS has done it again! The global sensation has made history with their smash hit "Dynamite," becoming the first K-pop group to reach a massive 2 billion streams on Spotify.

According to Big Hit Music on January 14, BTS’s digital single "Dynamite," which was released on August 21, 2020, hit the incredible milestone of 2 billion streams as of January 12. The group’s achievement marks a new record, making them the first K-pop artists ever to hit this milestone on the platform.

"Dynamite" also made waves when it became the first song by a Korean artist to hit No. 1 on Spotify’s “Daily Top Songs Global” chart, with an all-time high in streams on its release day. Not only that, but it was also the first K-pop song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify—another record-breaking feat.

This song has been nothing short of revolutionary for BTS. With "Dynamite," they made history as the first Korean artists to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart and set the longest streak at No. 1 on the chart for a K-pop act. They also became the first-ever Korean artist nominated for a Grammy Award, one of the prestigious "Big Four" American music awards. And in Japan, BTS was the first foreign artist to hit over 800 million streams for a single song on Oricon’s charts.

Known for its lively disco-pop vibe, "Dynamite" has left a permanent mark on the global music scene. Its upbeat rhythm, catchy chorus, and incredible performances continue to captivate fans worldwide. Even after more than four years since its release, the song remains beloved by many, cementing its place as a timeless classic. At the end of last year, Dynamite even made it to UPROXX’s "The 100 Best Hit Songs of the Century So Far." Plus, the music video for "Dynamite" surpassed 1.9 billion views on YouTube, proving its lasting popularity.

BTS has once again proven why they are a global powerhouse, setting new records and breaking barriers for K-pop around the world.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
