The celebrations for BTS continues after the Grammy nomination for 'Dynamite' and earning their fifth No. 1 on Billboard 200 chart with 'BE'. This album becomes their second chart-topper this year after 'Map Of The Soul:7'. The septet, currently rehearsing for year-end performances in South Korea, posted a video on their official Twitter account as all of them were screaming with joy. Interestingly, Suga was in attendance too. The musician has been in recovery since his shoulder surgery and has pre-recorded many of his performances. So, it was nice to see OT7 back after a while!
