Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How is Taehyung today? I hope that things are going well for Taehyung. I hope Taehyung knows that there are a lot of amazing things to celebrate, and may Taehyung think of them often.

Congratulations to Taehyung on winning 1st place on Tokyo FM’s MVP Song (September) with FRI(END)S 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s Taehyung’s 4th MVP win already. It’s amazing how Taehyung’s songs have been played on Japanese radios. I really want to hear them here in my country, too. It’s the label that promotes or distributes that as part of marketing, right? But since they’ve already been making every effort to sabotage Taehyung, I don’t expect any job well done from them anymore.

I used to give chances to radio stations here whenever I ride on a public bus, hoping Taehyung’s song will be played, or BTS’, since I suspected they’re a stalker company (with the previous songs they’re playing); however, they get more and more harassing – a few times, they made allusions that insider stalkers know and play songs that I recently played, too – so I shut them completely and played my own songs. I always get baffled by that stalkers network, and realizing they’re a fraternity network just made them more menacing and disgusting. See, the stalker next door just laughed and even called me crazy in a local language. Disgusting. Typical gossiper-lowest-of-the-low behavior, and they’re now using technology for that, upgrading to being stalkers over the internet, stalker. They laughed again. They couldn’t be more proud of their successful scam and crime. Don’t lose all the things Taehyung has worked hard for and earned over the years to these scams, Taehyung-ah. It’s so disgusting. Don’t make Taehyung’s real life some kind of a thriller with these stalkers, fraternities, organized crime involved.

There’s a new solo fanbase that has comprehensively enumerated Taehyung’s wins and awards this year, and it’s so wonderful that Taehyung already got 25 trophies so far in 2024, despite not being here in the entertainment scene to fully promote the newly released songs and projects. Just like what Esquire Korea said, Taehyung is “the one who shows consistent popularity even in the military period,” and we’re all indeed excited to see more of what Taehyung can do after deployment. That’s just going to be about half a year from now on, right? Time flies so fast.

I’m getting a Sweet Night, 4 o’clock, Scenery impression where Taehyung’s not actively promoting them – I wonder if there was ever a post about them before – and yet, they’re thriving, with Taehyung’s self-composed song, Scenery, setting multiple records on SoundCloud, becoming the fastest track to reach 100M streams and being one of the most streamed songs in the platform’s history. If I remember it correctly, it has also been the most streamed song by a Korean solo artist – or, independent artist, since Taehyung wasn’t officially a solo artist at that time.

Outstanding Music Videos

• 🌍 Strong entries for international awards like the Grammys

Congratulations to Taehyung on FRI(END)S getting the highest accumulated daily points in Genius Korea 2024 as of this date 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations to Taehyung on the music video for this and the music video for IU’s Love Wins All being the Best Music Videos of 2024 in the Philippines 🥳🎉👏🙌 They’re indeed cinematic and offer a literary twist. I hope IU has also submitted songs for the Grammys and included Taehyung’s Love Wins All. I’m sure these two music videos are strong entries for that international award, redefining K-pop and music in general (Side note: you know what this stalker next door just did? She played a loud cry sound effect, obviously for the purpose of mockery. Last time, she played a fart-like laugh sound effect. I now think it was intentional.)

Congratulations on getting Taehyung’s Layover Vinyl up 450% in sales on Amazon US, and even getting sold out on the official BTS US Store 🥳🎉👏🙌 It has also re-peaked at #1 on Amazon US Best-selling Korean Pop 🥳🎉👏🙌 At the time of its release recently, it has become the highest-charting album by any Korean Act on both Worldwide and European Apple Music Album charts 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s going to be released officially in the US and Europe this October 18.

Taehyung’s Sold Out streak started again with Layover Vinyl getting sold out in Target Stores and Japan Weverse and UMS stores—where they got sold out twice 🥳🎉👏🙌 Taehyung’s outfits from his participation in the Ministry of Unification 2024 Ulchi Exercise Implementation between ROKA and US forces, his entire outfit alongside that Yellow Vespa Scooter as well as LOWA Military Boots in all sizes were sold out as well 🥳🎉👏🙌

Record-Breaking Sales

• 📊 First album by a solo artist to surpass 2M copies in Circle Chart history
• ⚡ Set records on Hanteo, breaking a 23-year milestone

It’s worth noting how Taehyung’s Layover debut album released last year was the first album by a Solo Artist to surpass 2M copies in Circle Chart history 🥳🎉👏🙌 It has also set a record of being the first album by a solo artist to sell 2M copies on both Circle and Hanteo in its first week 🥳🎉👏🙌 I still believe that those sales are properly counted—they’re sold to resellers, and I’m sure they’re bought by Taehyung’s fans, and many are still looking to get them. Taehyung’s Layover debut album also broke a record of over 2 decades (23 years) previously set on Hanteo as the solo album that surpassed 2M copies sold on the platform 🥳🎉👏🙌 There’s a lot of sabotage here and there, but regardless, Taehyung is still dominant on European and American charts with zero promotion there. I’m definitely excited to see the massive impact and all the clout Taehyung will get when he finally sets foot on US soil and in the UK. Solo Taehyung in LA and London. The last time Taehyung walked in New York with his Vogue magazines, he set a record in history, getting the best-selling magazine cover in Ktown4u history, and the sought-after #1 all-kill on all major online magazine/content platforms. Taehyung has repeatedly done that with his magazine covers released since then—Elle Korea, Harper’s Bazaar Korea, and others. Every time Taehyung sets foot in Paris, he always brings an insurmountable impact, and the trends and projects he creates are a dream. No one can beat the crowd and impact Taehyung gathered in 2022 Paris Fashion Week and the success of the projects that resulted from his visit to Cannes (a VIP dinner with Celine’s icons) and Spain (Layover Music Videos).

Global Impact

• 🌟 Most Watched Male Pop Star in 2024
• 🌍 Ranked 8th among Asian stars in the Top 1000 Most Influential Influencers
• 🎸 The highest-ranking male pop star in the Music category

Taehyung’s Layover LP was also one of the most searched keywords in South Korea and worldwide, reaching a peak of 100% in trends. It’s already so difficult to get something trending, but reaching a hundred percent seems almost impossible, until there’s someone as big and massive as Taehyung. I like how Taehung is “the most watched male pop star worldwide in 2024.” He is indeed the most searched Korean idol/solo artist on Wikipedia, ranking alongside Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber, who have been cultural pop icons during their time. It’s definitely Taehyung in our time. Congratulations on ranking 8th among Asian stars on the Top 1000 Most Influential Influencers in the World 🥳🎉👏🙌 He is the highest-ranking male pop star in the Music category, and he’s the most popular among all other influencers in sports, fashion, and beyond.

Taehyung has so many achievements that I feel like I’m drunk. I’ve recently rewatched his music videos, and I thought to myself that his face and charisma can make me drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever been drunk, but if there were one or two occasions that may qualify for that, it may be that time when I was with my college journalism club members (I was already a teacher and the club adviser, can you believe that?) and that time when I was with my dorm mates. I only got one bottle, so I don’t really think I was drunk. I was still very much conscious, though my inner shrewdness was apparent. I really do have a tendency to manipulate others, and I think that if I wasn’t a prayerful, dutiful Christian, I might be targeting not just those who offended me but also those whom I just feel like targeting. I don’t do that. It’s stupid and unnecessary. I want to know how Taehyung would react, though.

I’m sorry for being carelessly harsh sometimes. I’m dissatisfied with a lot of things. Isn’t that very obvious? My decision for a long while now is not to take anything that I can’t be 99.9% sure, safe, and secure. A few weeks into the year, my annoyance and disgust about these stalkers became clearer, and with what they have done to me—calling the police on me—you know why I get more hateful about them. They sometimes sing about judging me because I don’t ever forgive and forget the past, and it’s disgusting how that’s coming from these stalkers who, instead of saying sorry and taking responsibility, mock me instead. The most horrible creation, aren’t they?

Don’t ever be like them, Taehyung-ah. I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, along with so many of your fans and ARMYs, love you so much. Please always be healthy. Eat and sleep properly and get the energy you need to have a thriving and fulfilling day each day of the year. May all the good things come to Taehyung, and may he recognize them every time in the coming days, weeks, months, years, and decades ahead. Don’t ever stop hoping and believing. Taehyung can make things happen when he prepares for them, commits to them, and is strategic in attaining them. May all Taehyung’s good dreams come true. May God bless him always. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah.
