In a recent interview with "Entertainment Relay," BTS members shared their thoughts and perception about their newest single "Blood, Sweat & Tears" and second album "WINGS."
According to Allkpop, Suga admitted he did not agree with the title "Blood, Sweat & Tears" at first. In addition, the BTS member revealed he initially thought the title would not be effective.
Suga said, "I didn't think "Blood, Sweat & Tears" would do well. Isn't it kind of dirty? I thought it wouldn't do well, but it did."
The BTS member shared he used to be called the "Pelé" of the group, referring to a soccer player who makes wrong expectations. Suga added that all BTS songs he thought would not do well in the market turned out to be a hit.
During the interview, Suga also expressed his gratitude towards their fans for their all-out support, bringing "WINGS" on the Billboard 200 chart for three consecutive times, Soompi noted.
Meanwhile, the BTS members also talked about achieving yet another milestone of crossing the 40 million mark on YouTube for "Blood, Sweat & Tears" within 23 days, making them the fastest K-pop group to record such figures.
BTS released their second studio album "WINGS" on Oct. 10. The album has a total of 15 tracks with carrier single "Blood, Sweat & Tears," which won BTS their first domestic number hit on Gaon Digital Chart.
Further reports revealed "WINGS" recorded over 500,000 pre-orders during the first week. The album spent three weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold over 23,000 copies.
