People think Canada bought the moon but here's what's really going on
What on earth is going on when people think Canada just bought the moon?
It's a question many were asking after #CanadaBuysMoon began trending on social media Wednesday night.

For a moment there, some people thought it alluded to Canada's pandemic expenditure.
I thought this was gonna be some weird thing that Trudeau cost us what the moon costs but I’m glad it’s just the wholesome KPop fandom #CanadaBuysMoon

Given that news of the country's acquired debt was reported yesterday, this is a reasonable assumption.
These pair perfectly together. #CanadaBuysMoon pic.twitter.com/SDMRsMuAxj

A separate Twitter trend attacking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also gave it some political sentiment.
I’m pretty sure these don’t go together but it wouldn’t surprise me #CanadaBuysMoon pic.twitter.com/lrsQWXtJV3

But, in fact, it was the result of K-pop band BTS' loyal fans supporting their newest hit, Moon.

The song has already shot to #1 on the iTunes music charts thanks to Canadian members of the BTS Army.
