Hi, Taehyung-ah ππ€ How are you today? I hope that you’re healthy and that you’re not hurting anywhere in your body. Time flies so fast and it’s going to be your Layover debut album in two days π₯³πππ It’s amazing how you’ve already got so many recognition, awards, and achievements for your album before its full release, Taehyung-ah, and not only that, you are also making such huge waves beyond music with you being an impactful fashion icon and a magnetic brand ambassador.
I really love your sense of fashion, Taehyung-ah, and how you look so princely, elegant, and hot with anything you wear – like the white, red, or animal print luxury coat and inner these days. It’s no wonder why you get so many expensive things sold out, like Cartier’s items that you wore on the latest ad campaign worth 400K USD overall that had been sold out on the brand site the day of your video’s release. Your ultra expensive Panthere Jewelry watch worth 189K USD and Panthere Pasha de Cartier Selection watch worth 129 USD alone quickly sold out. Congratulations, Taehyung-ah π₯³πππ You’re such a perfect matchmaker, Taehyung-ah, and you make all things you wear super beautiful – an epitome of beauty.
It’s also no wonder how amazing people from all over the world and from all walks of life look up to you as a person, too, and as a brand ambassador. I’m excited about your ad campaign for Seoul Tourism as the capital’s Honorary Tourism Ambassador and the face of the city and country being displayed in 6 of the biggest and most sophisticated cities in the world such as New York’s Timesquare; Tokyo (Japan), and Shanghai (China). There’s no stopping you, Taehyung-ah. Congratulations for this feat, Taehyung-ah, and congratulations, too, with having your ad campaign for Seoul Tourism quickly garnering 20M views, and recently surpassing twice that number at 40M views, on YouTube. π₯³πππ It’s also fantastic how that has been reported by a national news agency again, MBC News for Culture & Entertainment Plus. You’ve been the capital’s ambassador for 7 consecutive years, including the time when you were an ambassador with BTS since 2017. I’m super excited to see you more, Taehyung-ah, and I am looking forward to see the full conception of your ad campaign about the new retro “Back to Nature” fashion in Seoul, too. Like sooo many of your fans and armys, I super wish to come to Seoul quickly after watching you in the ad.
You’ve been leading Instagram in brand value and engagement per post and also leading Google searches in South Korea, Japan, and worldwide. You’re always fantastic, Taehyung-ah. It’s amazing how you’re the sole model, or the sole face, of the capital this year, showing once again and strengthening your stance as the celebrity with the highest brand value in so many brand ranking metrics reported.
Who could forget how you made Celine increase its brand value, ranking, and revenue to 50% and top the luxury brand category in the World’s Top Brands of 2023 with last year’s Paris Fashion Week and this year’s official announcement and welcome of you being the brand’s new ambassador? The items you’ve worn got immediately sold out every time too and even crashing the site on an occassion or two.
I’m grateful that you haven’t crashed Cartier’s site this time, Taehyung-ah. They’ve prepared their infrasture well after being crashed last time in handling a large influx of orders. This time, your items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were quickly sold out and that these items, after a day, could not be ordered anywhere online because they were all sold out everywhere. That’s just super fantastic, Taehyung-ah.
Congratulations, too, on having your 2nd win on Mcountdown, 2nd win on MelOn weekly popularity award, and 2nd win on K-Play Chart. π₯³πππ I’m really amazed at how you have prepared South Korea for your debut and comeback as a singer too, with all your projects promoting each other. You should be proud and energetic when you face your Korean armys on your stage performances, our beloved Taehyung, as you know you’ve made sooo many achievements in the country this year. Amaze them even more. I love how Inkigayo acknowledged and introduced you as the “vision of K-pop, perfect visual, and will make the world vivid with music”. It’s like saying you are the epitome of what K-pop is about and that you are fulfilling its purpose – spreading such strong, solid, and widespread impact and interest to various countries and having so many next generation of idols, teenagers, and young adults following your ways while also being so much loved, adored, and respected by the generation before you too – both in music, fashion, and philanthropic influences.
Congratulations, Taehyung-ah, on having reached a new highest charting song on Billboard Japan Download chart with your Winter Bear at #3, surpassing your Christmas Tree then at #4. π₯³πππ It’s also amazing how two of your other songs, Rainy Days and Scenery, have charted at #4 on the chart too. Your Love Me Again charted at #5, Snow Flower at #6, and Sweet Night at #10. Congratulations, too, on having your Layover spend 4 consecutive weeks on Billboard Japan Download Album chart, currently at #52.
Congratulations, as well, on having all your self-composed songs released on SoundCloud before debuting on Billboard US digital song sales chart with you Winter Bear at #36, Snow Flower at #43, and Scenery at #46. It’s also fantastic how this week features a tight competition with so many big artists of this time releasing new songs.
Congratulations, too, on debuting impressively on World Digital Song Sales once again with your Snow Flower at #2 and Scenery at #3. Your Winter Bear has also debuted in the Top 50 of Billboard Canadian Digital Song Sales chart at #48.
You’ve also been consistently doing great on streaming platforms, like Spotify and YouTube, Taehyung-ah, despite the latter constantly freezing your videos. I keep wondering why there are often 1-2 videos of yours hidden in my playlists, making me assume there were strikes on your MVs again or that they could be repeatedly being reported. Either way, I think it’s hurting your views and corresponding chart performances, particularly with Mnet that includes the platform as a factor to win in this Korean music show. I noticed before that when your views were on freeze, the views were redirected to other channels or accounts. I also noticed that some of the videos on my playlists before were redirected to fan-made videos instead of the ones I added to my playlists. I wonder if this was what happened to your view counts for Love Me Again and Rainy Days reportedly being credited to other competing videos at the time. YouTube could really be experiencing serious bug issues for a long while now.I hope it’s not something that undermines the security and privacy of the users in the platform.
Once again, congratulations on garnering so many wins on Korean music shows and platforms, Taehyung-ah, even before the full release of your debut album that’s going to be two days from now. I really want to listen to all of the tracks now. I’m so excited for them. I hope they’ve made you happy and satisfied, Taehyung-ah, and already proud for making such meaningful and beautiful songs and for being like a seasoned singer, musician, and solo artist in your lyrics, tone and melody, expression, vocals, and visuals. You’ve grown up so amazingly, Taehyung-ah. We’re all sooo happy and sooo proud of you.
Congratulations, too, on surpassing 1B total streams on your profile on Spotify, Taehyung-ah. π₯³πππ Congratulations, as well, on garnering 10.6M monthly listeners on the platform. It’s really great to see you climbing up higher and higher. Congratulations, as well, on reaching 84M streams for your Love Me Again, 70M streams for your Rainy Days, 5M streams for your Winter Bear, and 4M streams each for your Scenery and Snow Flower. π₯³πππ I’m really super happy to see these amazing songs on your profiles on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and other music platforms officially, Taehyung-ah. We’ve all wanted to support all your work properly, be it your music or your fashion, and they’re really super heartwarming gifts. Thank you so much, our beloved Taehyung.
Congratulations on having your Love Me Again reach 53M views and Rainy Days reach 29M views on YouTube. π₯³πππ
Congratulations, too, on trending worldwide on Twitter several times on different occassions recently, Taehyung-ah. It’s really wonderful how you keep trending worldwide every time you have events or activities. This time, you have occupied the entire Top 7 wordwide trends with the release of your Layover debut album concept photos – Photo 4 (1 – #Photo4_Layover; 2 – #V_Layover; 3 – LAYOVER BY V IS COMING; 4 – LAYOVER LOCKDOWN; 5 – KIM TAEHYUNG; 6 – #LAYOVER_V; and 7 – #Layover_Concept_Pics_4). π₯³πππ
I’m also really happy to see so many of your fanbases in many countries organizing promotional events for your album in their own countries and in South Korea, Taehyung-ah. I wonder if you’re able to see their posts. They’re really beautiful and touching. When your ads for Seoul Tourism (reportedly in 6 major cities in the world) and Cartier (so far in Thailand) would be shown in many cities and countries, especially in South Korea, I think we’ll really have a world filled with you, Taehyung-ah. For me, that’s so sweet, dreamy, and ideal, but it could be real, right?
Congratulations, too, on trending worldwide one more time with your Dingo story episode, Taehyung-ah. You occupied the Top 2 worldwide trends with #DingoStoryWithV at #1 and TAEHYUNG ON DINGO STORY at #2. π₯³πππ The fan you went on a date with was really lucky. I hope that happiness will stay with her for a very long time, and even for a lifetime, for such a beautiful moment you shared with her, Taehyung-ah. There are really blessings in disguise, right? Thank you so much for always being there to cheer up army whenever that you can, Taehyung-ah.
Congratulations, too, on having your Layover album surpass 227K pre-orders on ktown4u. π₯³πππ That’s a massive number and that’s just one platform out of many that offers your album for pre-order, Taehyung-ah. There’s still Weverse Shop, BTS Store, Amazon, and other online and offline shops in many countries or regions that offer pre-orders for the physical copy of your debut album and more for the digital ones, like iTunes.
Woah, congratulations, Taehyung-ah, on getting the 1st spot on Ktown4u best selling K-pop & K-content on August with your album, Layover, and Arena Magazine covers. π₯³πππ It’s just the beginning of the month of September and you already got sooo many achievements, Taehyung-ah. We’re really looking forward to how you will fill this month with your amazing work, artistry, fashion, and character, Taehyung-ah. Your Layover debut album on September 8; your 3 huge magazine covers with Pop, Arena Homme+, and W Korea; your stage performances on NPOP on September 9 and September 13, SBS Inkigayo on September 10, Japanese TBS CDTV Live on September 18; and Tiny Desk Korea that’s yet to be released; your awesome variety shows with You Quiz on the Block tonight, September 6 at 9PM, Running Man on September 10 6PM, Suchwita on September 11 10PM, and more. Your ad campaign for Seoul Tourism Nature in the City Video would also be released on September 8, right?
And OMG! Tannie’s birthday is also tomorrow, September 7! π₯³πππ Woah, I really hope to see you both healthy and happy together, Taehyung-ah. To think that you have dedicated your debut album to Tannie, putting him on Layover’s album and singles cover, is really so sweet and touching. I wish Tannie would live a very long, healthy, and happy life with you and all the people that love him so much. I wish even more that you’ll have the same, Taehyung-ah – a long, happy, healthy, purposeful, and satisfying life. Our beloved Taehyung, take time to care for yourself despite your busy schedule, okay? I think you’ve been working non-stop, perhaps since May. Your hard work is always so admirable, Taehyung-ah. We’re sooo excited, Taehyung-ah.
Whenever you have time, please leave us a comment on any platform convenient to you, Taehyung-ah. I want to know how you’re doing every day too, and hopefully you’re not hurting anywhere. Thank you sooo much for all the sweet things you’ve been sharing with us lately and finding the time and way a of sharing with us a very beautiful part of your day, like the sunset view, Taehyung-ah. It was super beautiful. I couldn’t see the sunset from my place now, but that one time I saw the sunrise here was really so magical and beautiful. I’m so happy that you were able to see a beautiful sunset/sunrise sky too. I’m really super happy to be able to see you more these days. Thank you so much for working hard on giving us these beautiful moments and gifts, Taehyung-ah. We’re all sooo happy and sooo proud of you.
I love you so much, Taehyung-ah. I, and so many of your armys, love you so much. Always remember that. May we always be your friends to make you comfortable.

May all your dreams come true and may you be happy, successful, and peaceful in 2023 πΌπ. Borahae, Saranghae, Taehyung-ah ππππππβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ.
