Mikey Fernández also replied to the post expressing their admiration for the BTS member. As translated in English by Google Translate, he wrote,

"The final stretch of this book's journey has been with #V_Layover on repeat. #SiempreNosQuedaráSeúl would not be what it is without #Taehyung."

After witnessing the outpouring of love from Taehyung's fandom, also known as ARMYs, the author took to social media once more to express their gratitude. They stated (as translated by Google):

"Thanks to all ARMY and the biased Vs who are sharing, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE SEOUL (the book's literal translated name). I just hope that if you read it, you like it. THANK YOU!"
