The song was highly requested by Rurunatics and PH ARMYs when he posted a selfie of himself donning the same outfit as the K-pop idol.

He captioned the post with, “This is dedicated to all my supporters.

“To my Rurunatics family, thank you for everything! To all the ARMYs, thank you for making me feel your love!

“Borahae!”
