PSY Congratulates BTS On Surpassing His Record For Billboard’s “Hot 100”

Just a legend recognizing a fellow legend.

BTS just got their first No.1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, which had even the current president and former prime minister of Korea congratulating the world-class stars.

But there’s another well-known celebrity who congratulated BTS on their huge accomplishment, and it’s none other than their “sunbae”, who held the top Billboard’s Hot 100 record as a Korean celebrity before BTS surpassed it.
