ARMYs Successfully Get BTS Fan Song "2! 3!" On World Charts

BTS‘s first ever fan song, “2! 3! (Still Wishing For Better Days)” has made an appearance on several music charts around the world, though the song was released over 2 years ago.

ARMYs are using the song to show BTS their love during a tough time, a project entitled #ProjectBuy23.

Please buy 2,3 on Itunes or your preferred platform. It’s our love letter to @BTS_twt . Let’s get it to chart on iTunes so they would know we see, we hear and we are here. #ProjectBuy23

BTS has been dealing with backlash from Japanese media during the Japanese leg of their tour & release of Japanese single “FAKE LOVE / Airplane pt. 2”.

To quote the track, ARMYs want to tell BTS that “it’s alright / now count 1, 2, 3 and forget / erase all sad members / hold my hand and smile”.

"There are many sad days, but rather than sad days we hope to have better days, that's what make us live, that's what make us dream, that's what drive us to desire something.."❤️#ThankYouNamjoon @BTS_twt #iHeartAwards #BestBoyBand #BTS pic.twitter.com/AL8Ujnkcc5
