“Congratulations Jimin Like Crazy deserves all the flowers in the world!,” exclaimed another X user.
“Jimin's #LikeCrazy is simply a perfect pop song.The fact that it hasn't amassed awards & records so far, on par with those made by world's biggest pop stars, is only due to the unfortunate circumstance of Jimin being hybe's artist & relegated to kpop box. Hopefully that'll change,” wrote a fan.
“Always happy to see Queen LC still getting flowers. Totally deserved. CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN,” stated an admirer.
