Sandejas also thanked BTS fans for their reaction to his music so far and their “kindness”. Speaking about the vlog to the Manila Bulletin, Sandejas described the moment he found out V had used his song in the vlog: “I didn’t know that this was gonna happen. None of us knew even my management team. No one knew. It really came as a surprise. The first one to find out was my sister. She is a BTS fan. And her friend gave her a call.”

“V is playing your song in his vlog. Then we all started freaking out. Everything started blowing up on Twitter and Instagram. My life has not been the same.”
