    BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) is proving his unstoppable popularity once again, completely dominating Australia’s TIDAL Top Video chart! He has set a new record as the first K-pop artist to occupy all Top 10 spots on the chart, showing just how much global fans love his music.

    V’s song “Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)” held onto the #1 spot on TIDAL Australia’s Top Video chart for six consecutive days. But that’s not all—his music completely took over the chart! The Top 10 rankings were entirely filled with V’s songs, including tracks from his solo album Layover.

    Following “Winter Ahead” at #1, “Winter Ahead (YUNSEOKCHEOL TRIO Ver.)” secured #2. From #3 to #10, his solo tracks “FRI(END)S,” “Slow Dancing,” “For Us,” “Rainy Days,” “Love Me Again,” “Blue,” “Slow Dancing (FRNK Remix),” and “White Christmas” all made the cut. His “White Christmas (Lyric Video)” also ranked at #14, further proving his massive solo success.

    The music video for “Winter Ahead”, released on November 29, 2023, instantly gained attention, even from the teaser. The beautifully shot video, featuring V as a sculptor, captured fans with its artistic visuals and deep emotions. It wasn’t just a hit in Australia—TIDAL’s Top Music Video chart saw V’s dominance in multiple countries, including the U.S., U.K., Spain, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Czech Republic.

    With this achievement, V has made history on TIDAL’s Top Video charts as the first K-pop artist with the most charting songs and longest-running hits. On the Global TIDAL Top Video chart, “Winter Ahead” held the longest #1 streak.

    In the U.S., his song “FRI(END)S” was the first K-pop track to top TIDAL’s Top Video chart, while “White Christmas” debuted straight at #1. Over in the U.K., V became the first K-pop artist to reach #1 with “Love Me Again.”

    Not stopping there, V set another milestone as the first K-pop artist to have 11 solo songs charting from #1 to #11 on the U.S. TIDAL Top Video chart. In the U.K., 10 of his tracks ranked from #1 to #12—another record-breaking moment for a K-pop soloist!

  • 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.
