Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊🤗 How are you today? I hope that things are going well for Taehyung. I hope that Taehyung is healthy and thriving well in the military. In the past few days, Taehyung’s name has been on Korean and Japanese national TV news for 3 consecutive days – Yeonhap, YTN, MBC, MBN, BBC Korea, the Korea Times, etc – mentioning Taehyung’s achievements such as Taehyung’s Layover LP vinyl getting RIAJ platinum certification, Taehyung making waves in the military again as he was among the audience in a recent orchestra held in the military camp, and Taehyung congratulating the new Nobel awardee for Literature, a South Korean woman named Han Kang 🥳🎉👏🙌 Taehyung is so incredible. Taehyung’s congratulatory message for the Nobel Laureate, “read it on the military,” was up 1000% in searches, and Taehyung’s name reached a peak of 100% in Google Worldwide and South Korea trends 🥳🎉👏🙌
Indeed, Taehyung has been “taking over” Instagram, Google (Search and Trends), and Wikipedia 🥳🎉👏🙌 Even in the military, Taehyung has solidified his position as “the most influential Asian star in the world” 🥳🎉👏🙌 On Instagram, Taehyung has the #1 highest engagement rate among celebrities worldwide at 16.81%, #1 highest average likes per post of over 11M among celebrities, #1 Most Influential Asian in the World, #6 Most Influential Influencer in the US, #3 Most Influential Influencer in the UK, and the US is the country where the majority of Taehyung’s followers are from (covering 18.2%) 🥳🎉👏🙌 On Wikipedia, Taehyung is the #1 most searched Asian male pop star in the world this year, 7th overall 🥳🎉👏🙌 On Google, Taehyung is the #1 most searched Asian male pop star in the world, 4th among all male celebrities worldwide and 12th among all celebrities – including women – worldwide 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations on having Layover as the highest charting album by any K-Soloist on both Worldwide & European Apple Music Album charts 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations on Love Me Again surpassing 865M streams and Rainy Days surpassing 290M streams on Spotify 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations on Love Me Again tying with Butter as the 5th longest-running song by a K-pop Act on Global Spotify 🥳🎉👏🙌 It has already charted on the platform for over 400 days without leaving the chart once, despite being a surprise track (dropped in just 14 hours after its announcement) with no promotional post from the label (it came 1-2 days after Taehyung’s fans called it out, and that calling out became one of the highest trends together with the song and Taehyung’s name on X).
Taehyung’s Layover debut album has recently celebrated its 400th day, and it’s worth noting how it’s one of the best-selling albums globally in 2023 by IFPI, and how it’s the first album by a Korean soloist to have all tracks selling over 100k units in the US and each song has surpassed 100M on Spotify 🥳🎉👏🙌 In the Chinese Hanteo charts, Love Me Again has also taken first place for the second consecutive week 🥳🎉👏🙌 Taehyung is a big catch in Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Europe, among other places. Taehyung is also a strong contender in the US, despite Taehyung’s artistry not being catered to them and not having any promotion there. Taehyung’s Layover LP Vinyl pre-release, which is yet to be released this October 18, has already become one of the best-selling vinyl globally by any act today 🥳🎉👏🙌
Taehyung-ah, I’ve been drowned by so many of Taehyung’s achievements these days, so many that I still have so much to cover. I haven’t even touched on Taehyung’s brand achievements and impact yet. Congratulations on such amazing feats, Taehyung-ah 🥳🎉👏🙌 Train with vitality in the military, and rest assured that good things will come to Taehyung as he works hard and amazingly for them. They will come in their own time, so don’t let a day pass by without being happy, okay?
May all Taehyung’s good dreams come true. May God bless our Taehyung always. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah.
