The best part of the show. FIFA knew to fly them in after their sold out concert to save the halftime show. The execution was so bad. I expected superbowl halftime standard. Their bit was the only exciting part", wrote the third X user.

For the unversed, Dynamite is BTS' fully English-language track, which was released in 2020. Written by David Stewart and Jessic Agombar, the disco-pop anthem was designed to bring hope, positive energy and joy to the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. The track earned BTS their first-ever Grammy Award nomination (for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance).
