Fans were pleasantly surprised to see BTS’s iconic dance make an appearance on such a huge, global event. During a post podium interview, Kwak Yoon Gy shared why he decided to do so.
I’m a fan of BTS on the regular too, but I also I wanted to repay RM however I could for the comfort I received when I was having it rough during the early stages of the Olympics due to the biased judging.
