Yet, what was even sweeter was when Justin Park actually realized what had happened. On his own Instagram, Justin Park reshared a video of him singing the group’s track “Butter” and added the words, “Thank you Jungkook…@BTS.BigHitOfficial. Always was a fan.”
He also shared similar words on his Twitter, adding, “YOOOO JUNG KOOK from @bts_bighit @BTS_twt JUST SHARED MY SONG “On the Low” LETS GOOOOOO.”
Justin then shared another video, but he personally thanked Jungkook for posting his song, and it was clear that he was so grateful for it.
Guys, I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m just so happy and Jungkook, thank you. Thank you so much. BTS, thank you, you guys are doing amazing things for our people.
