DA said, "Even before BTS debuted officially in Japan in 2014, there was high interest to them through interviews and fanmeetings. Their 2nd album 'Youth' that was released last year in September got #1 on the weekly Oricon chart for the first time for an overseas hip hop artist. We will be supporting them so they can have a wider promotional range in Japan."
