BTS, a hugely popular South Korean pop band, has become the first-ever musician to publish a song preview on the video-sharing TikTok platform.
The song titled 'ON' featuring Australian pop singer Sia attracted a huge influx of listeners after it was uploaded, causing the application to crash. However, the problem was soon fixed, allowing the fans to enjoy the new track of their favourite band.
