Many also mentioned how Jungkook aimed at showcasing his solo talent and not that of BTS with his new song. A user also cited how the agency added BTS’ name to the artists’ list of the song after it was a hit.
So you're telling me Hybe saw that Jungkook broke BTS streaming records and he's aiming for a high position on the Hot 100, and gaining 1M+ new listeners everyday on Spotify and decided to tag BTS? This never happened to a member solo debut
