BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) continues to shine as his hit song Winter Ahead has officially surpassed 150 million streams on Spotify, the world's biggest music streaming platform.

The beautiful winter-themed track, a collaboration between V and Park Hyo Shin, achieved this milestone on January 18.

Released on November 29 last year, Winter Ahead has been a massive success, breaking records and charting on multiple platforms worldwide.

The song debuted at No. 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Holiday Digital Song Sales chart. It also ranked on the Holiday Top 100 at No. 62, proving its global appeal.

Even six weeks after its release, it remains a fan favorite, charting at No. 84 on Billboard’s Global (Excl. U.S.) and No. 148 on the Global 200 chart.

The track has been making waves internationally, maintaining strong positions on India’s IMI Chart, Singapore's RIAS Chart, and even the UK Official Singles Download and Sales Charts.

V’s impact doesn’t stop there—Winter Ahead also topped Spotify Japan’s Daily Viral Song chart and dominated Apple Music Daily Charts worldwide for over a month.

Fans and critics alike have fallen in love with Winter Ahead. Billboard praised it as one of the 27 Best Winter Songs for the Season, describing it as “evoking the feeling of the first day of the cold season” and highlighting the flawless harmony between V and Park Hyo Shin.

This success isn’t new for V. With Winter Ahead, he becomes the only K-pop artist with three songs to chart on the Holiday Hot 100, following his previous hits Christmas Tree and White Christmas. All three tracks also topped the Holiday Digital Song Sales chart, cementing his title as a K-pop holiday icon.

As fans around the world celebrate this incredible milestone, V continues to prove his global influence and unique ability to create timeless music. Congratulations to V on another amazing achievement!

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.
