Charlie Puth and BTS’ Jungkook is the duo that we never knew we needed. Well, they collaborated on the hit single ‘Left and Right’ and fans cannot seem to get over it. The collab was also an instant success and continues to break records and top charts as on August 2 it was reported that ‘Left and Right’ was the most streamed song of the day by a Korean act on Spotify with 2.6 million streams. However, it seems that some haters were not here for it and decided to troll Jungkook on Twitter.

On August 2, Chart Data revealed that ‘Left and Right’ continued its rein on Billboard Hot 100 for the fifth consecutive week and was currently at #47. The single is also in its fifth week on United World Chart at #10. While fans were congratulating Jungkook and Charlie Puth, a troll decided to shade the BTS star by commenting, “Puth carried.” While the tweet was putting down Jungkook, it was in favor of Charlie. But the American singer decided to put the troll in its place by responding, “Team effort.”
