On July 4, the FIFA World Cup gave netizens the opportunity to choose between 4 songs to be played at the World Cup stadium. Netizens could choose between BTS‘s “FAKE LOVE”, EXO’s “Power”, J Balvin‘s “Mi Gente”, and Zedd (feat. Marren Morris and Grey) “The Middle”.
The poll quickly became a worldwide trend with BTS and EXO taking the lead and staying there.
Over 3 million votes were cast over a 24 hour period and the results were announced earlier today with EXO slightly beating out BTS.
EXO’s “Power” Just Barely Beat Out BTS’s “Fake Love” To Be Played At FIFA World Cup 2018
Although ARMYs were obviously sad that BTS’s song wouldn’t be played, many of them were very happy for EXO and were glad that a K-Pop song was going to be played during the game.
Everyone did so well for the FIFA poll! Tbh, I would’ve been fine with either Fake Love or Power. It’s ok ARMY, we guys worked hard!! Congrats to EXO!!

Congrats to EXO and EXO-L🎉
I’m Army and EXO-L but Power for me fitted more for the event instead of Fake Love

ARMYs may have already made peace with the decision, but shortly after the official results were posted a different announcement was made. Thanks to a separate poll on Instagram, it was determined that”FAKE LOVE” will also be played at the World Cup!
Great news. We also ran a poll on Instagram. Fans of both groups are winners! Enjoy the rest of the day/evening.
