Remember Bangtan Sonyeondam? Everybody was laughing and made fun of its name. Namjoon said we will prove to you, and so they did. Bangtan were fighting so hard they enabled themselves to rise to the top despite discrimination. Now when one hears its name, it spells success!
&Team may be laughed at now, but who knows? Someday they will be the one to laugh.. hihihi!
