Renowned author Paulo Coelho recently praised BTS for their new song “Butter” as it got over 100.000.000 views in 24 hours. Little did he know about the consequences, many of the social media users decided to unfollow him.

“Congrats @BTS_twt!!! Over 100.000.000 views in 24 hr! #BUTTER100M #ARMY (purple heart emoji)”

A few moments later, the author tweeted,

“I am losing a lot of followers because I posted a tweet congratulating @BTS_twt but this is the price to pay when you support people you admire. The boys overcame so many difficult moments, prejudices, etc. And THEY WON!!!”
