1. [+1,471, -73] BTS + kukak + hanbok... daebak!! I hope this album is an opportunity to spread awareness about Korea's beauty all over the world!

2. [+1,217, -62] Chosun swag! So proud of our Korean idol group that the entire world lives

3. [+1,139, -61] Proud of BTS

4. [+104, -1] I'm already getting goosebumps and feeling so proud imagining BTS hitting the Billboard with kukak music and going on tour all over the world in hanbok... I'm already seeing foreign armies asking and learning what old Korean singing techniques are and explaining what words like 'yangban' means, it's so cool seeing that stuff being retweeted ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I was never so patriotic until becoming a fan of BTS

5. [+97, -1] This is amazing. This is at a point in their careers where all the spotlight is on them so they need something impactful and strong. I thought they'd go with something trendy in the American market but they chose traditional Korean music as their concept. I got goosebumps just seeing the tiger appear in their first teaser. They truly pursue the type of music that they want. They're always so experimental which is why they're constantly gaining new fans.

6. [+95, -1] BTS is like an ant maze, you can't find your way out once you get in. Their new teaser gave me goosebumps; why did I only find out about BTS now ㅠㅠ they're a group with so much charm. It's actually super fun going back five years and looking up their old music videos and contents.

7. [+85, -5] When Jungkook coughed at the end, I died... his looks just get better and better

8. [+83, -4] This teaser made me realize that they're fully deserving of army exemptions... Imagine a song like this, with outfits like theirs, being shown all over the world... that's more honor to our country than any gold medal at the Asian Games, no?

9. [+74, -1] A hanbok + kukak concept at the most spotlighted point in their careers! Can't wait to see how this turns out!!!

10. [+61, -1] Chosun idols BTS ㅋㅋ can't wait for their comeback. Thank you so much for having a comeback right before your world tour even if it's for just a week.
