A fresh controversy has erupted online involving BTS member Jungkook’s FIFA World Cup anthem Dreamers. The song, which was originally released during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, has once again become a talking point after several fans noticed that BTS was reportedly being credited alongside Jungkook on certain music streaming platforms. The issue quickly sparked heated debate across social media, with many fans demanding that BTS’ name be removed from the song credits.
Jungkook's solo was added to FIFA
According to reports, some fans argued that Dreamers was a solo achievement for Jungkook and that attaching BTS’ name to the track undermines his individual accomplishment. Jungkook had performed the song at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2022, becoming the first Korean solo artist to headline the prestigious global sporting event. Many fans pointed out that the original release had promoted the track as Jungkook’s solo song featuring Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi.
