In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Ruru said he feels elated about gaining recognition from his idols.
“Alam mo sa totoo lang nung time na 'yon bigla lang akong minessage ng isa kong fan na na-notice ka na naman ng BTS pero this time sa TikTok, ganyan,” he said.
“Parang nung time na 'yun sabi ko, ano bang nangyayari? E, sobrang hooked na hooked na ako nung na-notice na ako e. So parang sabi ko na grabe na ang hirap tanggapin.
“Pero iniisip ko na lang na para sa Filipino ARMYs na 'pag napapansin 'yung kapwa nating Pinoy, sobrang nakakatuwa 'yun kasi napapansin nila 'yung country natin.”
On Instagram, Ruru Madrid takes his fandom to another level by posting an acoustic cover of Dynamite.
Since his posting yesterday, September 29, the video has already garnered more than 36,000 views on the social media platform.
