Along with the album release, their music video for the song "Blood, Sweat and Tears" was also unveiled.

With its release, the songs listed in the album started dominating Korean music charts, including Melon, Soribada, Naver Music, Genie and Monkey 3, Allkpop cites. All 15 songs also reportedly topped the Mnet, Melon, Naver Music and Genie charts with "Blood, Sweat and Tears" on the lead.

Furthermore, according to sources, the music video for "Blood, Sweat and Tears" has garnered more than three million views on YouTube in less than twelve hours after it has been posted by BigHit, BTS' talent outfit.

On Oct. 9, the seven-member boy group, which popularized songs such as "Dope," "Fire" and "Save Me," also reportedly launched a live show on V-App, a video streaming application, to promote their new album, "Wings," prior to its release.

Said app apparently crashed due to the awe-inspiring number of fans who tuned in to the live stream. An estimated three million fans were said to have tuned in to the live show where the members of the boy group introduced and discussed their new album.

During the live show, member Rap Monster announced that the song "Two! Three!" will become BTS' first official fan song.

Prior to the release of the album and the music video, BigHit is said to have released a total of seven short films and a comeback trailer titled "Boy Meet Evil," all of which followed the theme of the classic novelette "Demian" by Hermann Hesse. It was later followed by the music video teaser for "Blood, Sweat and Tears."
