Park replied via Twitter: “This means the world.”
A few days earlier, RM shared an Instagram Story in which he can be heard enjoying Park’s performance. He captioned the clip “WOW.”
Park tweeted with a head-exploding emoji. "Honestly still on a high from this. RM giggling and Huh-ing was my peak.”

Park, as La Dame Pipi, dons a gender-blending design by The Blonds and costume consultant Patricia Field as she sings “Dynamite” in a Paris drag club.
The 30-year-old actress, who plays Mindy Chen, told MTV that she asked producers if she could perform a K-pop song in Season 2. “Never in my wildest dreams as a BTS stan, BTS Army, did I think that they would get ‘Dynamite’ by BTS,” she said.
Park played MwE in the Off-Broadway show KPOP in 2017 and originated the role of Gretchen Wieners in the musical adaptation of Mean Girls in 2018.
