The heartfelt 2017 single “Spring Day” by BTS has surpassed all other holiday songs on the U.S. iTunes charts, including Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which has been a fan favorite for decades. Fans are experiencing a range of emotions as the group reaches number one, with members Jungkook and Jimin starting their mandatory military service.
After 29 years of serving as the season’s opening song, Mariah Carey’s joyous anthem will have to make way for BTS’s “Spring Day” this year. Released six years ago, the song continues to captivate listeners and prove that BTS’s music has staying power.
This historic event coincides with RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook’s recent enlistment; on December 11 and 12, they will humbly begin their military duties. Now that the group’s four youngest members have finished their service requirements, everyone is pulling in the same direction. If you were hoping for a reunion with Jin and J-Hope in 2024, you’ll have to wait until 2025 to see them go.
