Is this real life..? I am not dreaming, am I? Thank you so much,” Suga wrote on Weverse.“6 weeks… Is it really? What is happening,” J-Hope captioned on a photo he uploaded.“This is crazy. Everyone said that ‘Permission to Dance’ is even better, please show it a lot of love. Thank you,” RM posted on the social media app, while teasing their upcoming song.&quot;Permission to Dance&quot; is slated to drop on July 9, at 1 p.m KST (12 nn Philippine time).
