It is the first K-pop male idol solo song to be eligible for Gold RIAA certification after it had sold over 500,000 units in the U.S. It is also the first and only BTS solo song to receive a RIAJ Silver certification.

Totally deserved, I have so much love for this song. For anyone who may not get it, watch some live performances. Euphoria just hits different, I’ve been obsessed ever since I saw BTS at Wembley!
