BTS's Jungkook debuted his new single for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, "Dreamers," at midnight last night before giving a rousing live performance at the World Cup opening ceremony.

Shortly after the performance, Fahad posted on Twitter about the experience, writing, "I can't express my gratitude and happiness for my participation in the biggest event of all...
