Our Taehyung got several awards today, from being #1 Influencer in the UK as well as the winner of 2 music awards, “Best Music” category at The Fact Music Award (TFMA) and the MVP at K-Star Chart, and more 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations to our Taehyung on being the #1 influencer on Instagram in the UK and at #2 in the US, according to Hype’s Auditor report 🥳🎉👏🙌 It can be noted how our Taehyung is the only Korean act in the Top 50 most influential musicians in the UK 🥳🎉👏🙌 Our Taehyung has also gained over 150K followers just from his latest post. I like how one of his fans and ARMYs said how it’s someone like our Taehyung who broke Guinness World Records on Instagram, got the highest brand value per post, and gained at least 9M likes for each post (mostly 9M-13M likes each), should be the one brands chase after! Indeed, our Taehyung has incomparable impact. Keep the positive momentum, Taehyung-ah!
Congratulations V, too, on being the first and only Korean/K-pop soloist to win the seasonal Best Music category twice at The Fact Music Awards 🥳🎉👏🙌 Our Taehyung previously won “Best Music Fall” with his “Slow Dancing,” and just recently, as of January 6, he won “Best Music Spring” with his “FRI(END)S” 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations to our Taehyung as well on getting a special plaque MVP monthly for winning K-Star Chart in December for his “Winter Ahead,” marking his first win for this song 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations to him, too, on being the Korean act with the most number of songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, with his “FRI(END)S” at #65, “White Christmas” at #93, and “Winter Ahead” at #99 🥳🎉👏🙌 It can be noted how his previous songs have also debuted in the Hot 100 with “Christmas Tree” at #79, “Love Me Again” at #96, and “Slow Dancing” at #51.
Congratulations on now gaining 9.3B streams on all audio demand digital streaming platforms globally and being the 3rd most streamed Korean soloist 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations, too, on being the 8th best-selling K-pop soloist of 2024 in the US in pure sales 🥳🎉👏🙌
I’ve been listening a lot to Taehyung’s “Winter Ahead” with Park Hyoshin these days. Congratulations to his “Winter Ahead” on passing 200M views 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s the first jazz song to reach this milestone. Yesterday, I got an LSS (last song syndrome) for it and I remember listening to it until I fell asleep. I love the lyrics. It’s a sweet promise. I haven’t been able to focus on the lyrics before as I was hung up on the music video where I wished for a happy ending, but for some reason, like in his “FRI(END)S,” he didn’t end up being happy. When I listened to it repeatedly in the past few days, getting past the video and listening to his voice while he was singing, I realized how sweet the song actually is. Thank you once again, Taehyung-ah, for giving us such a wonderful gift. I wonder why it was released on November 29. I wonder if there’s a meaning to the date of releasing his songs, like the release of his “White Christmas” duet with Bing Crosby where he released it on his birth month, 12-December, and his BTS number, 6. For his other songs, there’s “Layover” on September 8. His “Love Me Again” and “Rainy Days” were released on August 9 and August 11 respectively. His “FRI(END)S” was released on March 15.
I came across his Type 1 photobook exhibition in my previous outline and how dedicated his fans and ARMYs were back then. It was a gift to ARMY for the anniversary and I’m happy it was released on the same date, July 9, on ARMY’s day. I heard they pass out wristbands where ARMYs can write down their time to enter as there was a long line. I think the photo of our Taehyung where ARMYs can have fun chasing after him was a must-have for those who attended it. I’d like to say how I hope there’s the same exhibition for his Reve photobook, but aside from that, I really wish there’s a fan-meeting as well where our Taehyung can sign the albums, photobooks, and magazines with him being on the cover someday. Even more, I hope there’s a solo concert and a BTS concert someday.
I love how his military update trended at #1 worldwide on Twitter/X. His latest update got the keywords “Kim Taehyung” and “Sergeant Kim” trending at #1 and #5 respectively 🥳🎉👏🙌 The latter trended in South Korea at #1. His IG post has now reached 14M likes, and it’s amazing how he got 10M and above likes for each of his posts 🥳🎉👏🙌 Our Taehyung bulked up, too. I love seeing how strong his arms are and how he’s making the best out of his military service. I’m so proud of our Taehyung 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s no wonder how he’s celebrated and loved by people of all ages! So many celebrities liked his latest update, too. There’s 25 and counting! It’s awesome how both Koreans and foreigners are proud of him, mentioning their adoration for him and his impact and getting favorable interactions.
His Wooga squad went together to Dubai and they’re using his song as a background song, as if our Taehyung is with them in thought. I remember how Park Hyunsik used “Christmas Tree” as a background music on his IG update before. This song, which was released back in December 2021, has now spent 150 weeks on Melon Weekly OST chart at #72.
I’m happy and proud that our Taehyung did well in both the music/branding and in the military 🥳🎉👏🙌 It didn’t feel as though he was gone because we often got updates about him and his projects. Thank you so much, Taehyung-ah. I thank God that you’re successful and your hard work pays off, because that’s the truth. Keep being happy and healthy. When you start counting all the good things that have happened to you, you also start feeling good, being filled with positivity, and so you also start accomplishing things positively. Keep doing amazing, Taehyung-ah. I’ve been re-watching several content about you and BTS these days and I get happy. Thank you so much. I wish to see more of them and to see you all smiling both during your solo and group activities again.
Just a little bit more and our happiness will be full.
