TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) is hitting new highs in Japan!

On November 7, Big Hit Music shared that TXT (members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai) took the No. 1 spot on Japan’s Oricon "Daily Album Ranking" for two straight days (November 4-5) with their latest mini-album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY. In just two days, the album sold an impressive 277,587 copies in Japan, already surpassing the first-week sales of their last mini-album, minisode 3: TOMORROW, which sold around 174,000 copies.

TXT now holds the record for the most consecutive No. 1 albums on Oricon’s Weekly Album Chart by a foreign artist, with 10 albums in a row reaching the top. With the strong sales of this new release, many expect TXT to set even more records soon.

The album’s title track, “Over The Moon,” is also climbing Japan’s music charts. Within an hour of its release on November 4, the song entered Line Music’s real-time chart at No. 78, and by November 6, it shot up to No. 1. It also climbed to No. 74 on Spotify Japan’s "Daily Top Songs" on November 5, and topped both Apple Music and iTunes "Top Albums" charts in Japan.

TXT’s success is just as strong in Korea, where the new album debuted at No. 1 on Hanteo’s daily album chart and became their fifth straight million-seller album in its first week. The title track "Over The Moon" has also entered the "Top 3" on Bugs' real-time chart.

Fans in Korea can also experience TXT’s latest album through a special The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY pop-up store at The Hyundai Seoul until November 13. The store is designed around the "ANGEL" concept from their album and offers photo zones, a photo booth, a message wall, and exclusive merchandise.

TXT’s momentum keeps building, and fans are eager to see what new records they’ll break next!

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
