BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) is proving his unmatched global popularity as he enters the U.S. Billboard's 'Hot 100' chart with a Christmas carol.

On December 17, Billboard announced that "White Christmas (with V of BTS)", a collaboration between V and legendary singer Bing Crosby, has secured the 93rd spot on the 'Hot 100' chart for the week of December 21.

This comes just one week after his duet "Winter Ahead (with Park Hyo Shin)" also made its way onto the same chart.

V’s winter releases are showing impressive results as they all continue to enter the 'Hot 100.' Last week, "Winter Ahead (with Park Hyo Shin)", released on November 29, ranked 99th despite strong competition from classic holiday carols.

With this new achievement, V now has six solo songs that have entered the Billboard 'Hot 100,' proving his unstoppable charm as a solo artist.

In 2023 alone, three of his songs—"FRI(END)S," "Winter Ahead," and "White Christmas"—have charted.

What makes this even more remarkable is that V achieved all of this without any official promotions, highlighting his strong influence and talent.

Released on December 6, "White Christmas (with V of BTS)" is a reinterpretation of Bing Crosby's iconic 1942 hit "White Christmas."

Known as one of the most beloved Christmas songs in history, the track receives a fresh touch with V's warm and soulful baritone voice, perfectly blending with the timeless melody.

Fans around the world are praising this collaboration for its emotional depth and beautiful harmony.

V continues to win hearts globally with his unique artistry and soothing vocals, making this holiday season extra special for fans.

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.
