• BTS V’s ‘Sweet Night’ Named One of the Most Iconic Drama OSTs by Billboard Korea — Here’s Why It’s Still Breaking Records

    BTS’s V has achieved another incredible milestone with his self-composed song "Sweet Night". Billboard Korea has named it one of the "Korean Drama OSTs That Instantly Bring Drama Scenes to Mind," proving its timeless impact on fans worldwide.

    "Sweet Night" was featured as part of the hit drama Itaewon Class OST and was released on March 13, 2020. The track is extra special because V wrote, composed, and produced it himself, showcasing his talent as a singer-songwriter. Billboard Korea praised the song for its ability to evoke vivid memories of the drama’s most emotional moments.

    The global love for "Sweet Night" began right from its release. It debuted at No. 1 on both the U.S. and U.K. iTunes Top Songs charts, and it didn’t stop there! The song broke records by becoming the first track in history to reach No. 1 in 119 countries on iTunes, even surpassing Adele’s legendary record. TIME magazine also highlighted its magic, calling it "a beautiful blend of V’s deep voice and the warmth of the acoustic guitar melody."

    V’s OST success isn’t limited to "Sweet Night". On Spotify, "Sweet Night" and his other OST "Christmas Tree" hold the No. 1 and No. 2 spots as the most-streamed Korean OSTs on the platform.

    Billboard Korea also celebrated other iconic OSTs, including Goblin’s "I Will Go to You Like the First Snow", Crash Landing on You’s "Give You My Heart", and Squid Game Season 2’s "To You", but it’s clear that "Sweet Night" continues to shine as a standout masterpiece.

    With his incredible talent and record-breaking achievements, V has firmly cemented his place not just as a BTS member but also as a global artist loved by fans everywhere.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    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.
