In a fitting climax to this story of musical success, the FRNK Remix reached the number one position on both the US and UK iTunes Charts.

Leading up to the release of these remixes, BTS' official social media handles provided official statements, building anticipation and excitement among fans. V himself contributed to the excitement, using his Instagram story to post a countdown timer.
This strategic approach not only heightened anticipation but also galvanized the enthusiasm of fans, playing a pivotal role in the tremendous success of V's Slow Dancing remixes.
