KATHMANDU: South Korean boy band BTS hopes their new digital single Dynamite is a song that can lift anyone’s spirit amid the coronavirus gloom.

The seven-member group said in a livestreamed news conference ahead of the release of Dynamite on August 21 that they hoped the song would give their fans the same surge of energy it had given them.

“Everyone in the world is going through tough times right now,” member Jimin told the news conference aired via YouTube, according to Reuters.

“Dynamite is a song that can lift anyone’s spirit. We gained a lot of energy singing and rehearsing it,” he said.
