  • Sorry for the delay.
  • "band's first song fully recorded in English" maybe "band's first entirely English-language song"?

  • "and takes influence from" to "and is influenced by"?
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "large amounts of commercial success" to "considerable commercial success" or just "commercial success"

  • "which the members" specify that it's the members of BTS.
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • 'which is "energetic' to 'which was "energetic'

  • "more PG friendly" I don't think "PG friendly" is a phrase
The phrase 'PG friendly' isn't standard. How would you like me to handle it? Should I remove it or replace it with something else?Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Link Suga at first mention.
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "including, King" Comma isn't necessary.
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "each member gets" to "each member [of BTS] gets"
  • 'chorus as an "earworm"' The "as" is unnecessary.

  • The Reception section seems excessively positive; the one starred review included seems middling, but there's no discussion in the text of any aspects of the song that reviewers didn't like.
  • "in just under 27 days of its exceeding the former milestone" Just mention the days after release, doing mental math here is confusing.
I just put " in under 27 days" and removed the rest of the sentence to keep it simple. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "800–900 million views" to 800 and 900 million views"
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "with two days of tracking" What's this mean?
It means two days of the sales that were tracked. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:14, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "Japan besides" to "Japan after"
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "by more than a 2.2x multiple" to "by a factor of more than 2.2"
Done Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:26, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "sold an additional 10,500 copies—2,748% increase—" Over what time period and an increase compared to when?
  • "US, but their first" to "US and their first"

  • The world records are dubiously notable; Guinness is known for selling world records by making up random niche nonsense like "Most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours by a K-pop group", and that looks like exactly what's here. World records also aren't accolades
  • Is the Dynamite cover really eligible for PD? The stylizing seems to be more than simple geometry to me.
It had been previously nominated for deletion but was kept. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 6:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
