We understand,” the singer tweeted after his initial announcement, following an uptick in the track’s streaming numbers.In a recent interview with Bandwagon, Park opened up about what it meant to get support from the BTS member and his reaction to that moment. “I mean anyone can imagine what my reaction was, but I’m telling you it was far more intense than what you think,” Park shared. “I literally cried.

I laugh-cried, if that makes sense.”Park added that he tried to share the good news to close friends and family as soon as he chanced upon Jungkook’s story at 4am, but that no one was awake to share the moment with him. “I literally couldn’t contain myself, so I just stayed up all night working on my socials making sure that everyone knew that this just happened because I was so damn proud,” he said.
