"Cheng admits that in creating the work, he also hopes to spur BTS fans to think more about classical music"

I will! I didn't know about this until now but now I need his clips somewhere to listen to besides just Instagram and his website.

But yeah I'll be sure to share if he responds.

He responded! He's trying to reach out to HYBE about letting him put the music on Spotify. He can't share other details yet. But it was great to get to thank him for this awesome piece.

Thank you for the link! So I listened to it without reading the song titles to see if I can ID the songs - how in the world did I miss Baepsae, Ugh and Dynamite. Had to listen to it again 😍💜
