SOUTH KOREA — Upon returning to Korea after their performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, BTS expressed their gratitude for their fans’ support for their new album “Love Yourself: Tear.”

“We are also very surprised at the records we are setting. We always wonder how we will be able to reciprocate all the love fans give us,” Jin said during a press conference for their new album in Seoul on Thursday.

Suga also said, “It’s a lie that we didn’t get anxious about our new album’s chart ranking, since it’s our first full-length album in 1 1/2 years. We are spending every day full of gratitude and happiness.”

BTS’s new single “Fake Love,” the lead track off their new album, has been topping several local music charts since its release on May 18.

The group received the top social artist award at the BBMAs on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they performed “Fake Love” for the first time.
