The use of the song in the particular scene just felt right as the characters Steven and Taylor went through a lot to finally transition from friends to lovers, which echoes the theme of Kim Taehyung's FRI(END)S. The R&B song delves into the complexities of a relationship wobbling between friendship and something more romantic. Due to this, fans felt that the song "fits so perfectly" in The Summer I Turned Pretty's scene.
"This scene with FRI(END)S by #V as bgm! It’s like they were made for each other. The perfect match," an X-user wrote. V's fans were also happy at his songs getting global recognition. Some fans criticized HYBE LABELS, the company behind BTS, for their lack of acknowledgement of this impressive feat of V. Since it's "not an everyday occurance", the label should have hyped it enough, they felt.
However, they believe that BTS ARMY will do their part and promote the achivement of the artist. "thank goodness he has such an amazing and dedicated fandom supporting him! Let's get busy," a fan wrote. This further underscored the enduring love and that V enjoys from his loyal fanbase.
