As we usually say: “Anything can happen in football”, the players of South Korea officially sent Germany out of the World Cup by beating the reigning champion with a 2-0 victory.
This has been such an unbelievable triumph for South Koreans as they started the game with only 1% chance to win. The victory of South Korean team was also the joy for Mexico and Brazil, because this victory protected Mexico from being eliminating and helped Brazil to “revenge” for the defeat 4 years ago.
Before the match took place, many Mexicans and Brazilians had promised to listen to BTS’s music all day if South Korean could win over Germany. As the result, the media reported that BTS’s song named “Fake Love” climbed 31 ranks on iTunes Mexico’s official chart. After that, this song continued to rise 10 more spots. So, in total, BTS’s song has climbed 41 ranks and it’s now at No.46 on iTunes Mexico.
On Twitter, Mexican football fans have expressed their thankfulness towards South Koreans by streaming “Fake Love”. Even the Mexican artists joined in this celebration, they encouraged their fans to listen to BTS’s music. The netizens from this country said:
– Today, all Mexicans will play BTS’s music in our cars!

– Thank you South Korea, you saved Mexico, from now we’ll support BTS!
– All of Mexico is now BTS stans, it’s law now.
As for Brazil, music newspapers in this country also told Brazilians to listen to BTS’s songs. Many people are fulfilling their promises by helping BTS on music chart.
