땡 was released during Bangtan’s 2018 Festa for their DD Ceremony, or D-Day Ceremony, on soundcloud featuring Bangtan’s rapline. With a traditional influence, backed with a hip-hop beat the track disses those slandering Bangtan rather than focusing on themselves.

The title comes from the Korean betting game Hwatu – also known as Go-Stop – in which 38 Hwang Ddaeng is the highest score you can get. 땡 is also the onomatopoeic sound made when something is incorrect or when an alarm goes off.

Billboard reviewed the track saying:

Built upon a trap beat propelled by eastern instrumentals, the trio rap about how BTS has unequivocally come out on top of the K-pop industry despite naysayers who put them down in the past. Early on in their career, the group’s rappers frequently faced criticism from within South Korea’s hip-hop scene for being run-of-the-mill idol rappers.
