Hi, Taehyung-ah 😊😄 How are you today? I wonder if it’s been a long day for you, too. I hope there were still a lot of things that made you happy, lessened your sadness, or reminded you to be strong, resilient, and strategic. I think I’ve heard this somewhere that we can be a fish in the small ocean or a big fish in a pond, but we can also be sharks that grow in proportion to our environment, big in big environments but small in small ones. The key is to find the environment that allows us to grow and maximize our potential, or to be as fearless, strategic, and resilient as a shark to turn things around in any environment we find ourselves in.
You’re moving in a stable pace, Taehyung-ah, and it’s admirable and praiseworthy how you remain a powerful icon even after undergoing through tumultuous waves, be it rumors or outright sabotage, which no other member has experienced before (though we’d never wish anything like that to happen either). You’ve proven yourself and your staying power in so many ways, Taehyung-ah, and that’s really one of the strongest points for a celebrated icon like you. Keep sharing your work, music, beloved accessories, and little things you love in your everyday life as Kim Taehyung and as V. The tides won’t always be up but you know it’s there every day.
I still have so many updates I’ve missed since the release of your Layover debut album, so I’ll be talking about them little by little while also covering for the latest updates in your music, artistry, and other significant work. Congratulations on remaining #1 in Japan and US Hanteo for three consecutive weeks and being the only Soloist to ever top these charts in history. 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations, too, on receiving the distinguished RIAJ Gold Certifications on Japan with your Layover. 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s also really wonderful how you continue to tank as the #1 “Most Popular K-pop Male Idol” and the “Most Popular Korean Male Actor in his 20s” in Japan for 132 and 128 consecutive weeks. 🥳🎉👏🙌
In Australia, you also got another distinguished ARIA recognitions, with your Slow Dancing at #1 on ARIA Hitseekers, #54 on Top 100 Singles chart, #19 on Top 20 New Singles, and more. Your Love Me Again, Rainy Days, and For Us have also charted. 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations, too, on topping the United World Chart with your Layover debut album and having been the most consumed Korean artist at the time of your debut. 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations, once again, on having charted in the Top 5 Album Charts in Germany, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Finland, and Greece; Top 10 in France, Switzerland, Lithuanian, and Croatia; Top 20 in Italy, Hungary, and others; and Top 100 in Spain, among others.
In UK alone, you’ve been sweeping the charts at #1, too, so it was sad that they had removed your songs in one of their popular charts although you were highly eligible. Can’t help but be suspicious that some entities were at play again, right? Anyway, at #1 in the UK Official Album Downloads charts. 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations, too, on having the first Music Video by a K-pop Act to top Apple Music UK Video Chart and Tidal UK Top Video Chart. 🥳🎉👏🙌 Congratulations, too, on being the first Korean and K-pop Soloist to simultaneously top at #1 on both the UK Official Singles Downloads and UK Official Album Downloads Charts 🥳🎉👏🙌 You’ve also been the first Korean & K-Pop soloist to sweep eligibility for 3 UK Chart Specialist Awards all together at once in a single week by topping UK Official Charts simultaneously with a solo single in an album. 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s also amazing how you’re the first Korean soloist to ever spend consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of UK Official Album Downloads Chart and your debut album Layover became the first album by a Korean soloist to ever spend 4 consecutive weeks on UK Official Album Downloads Chart. 🥳🎉👏🙌
Congratulations, Taehyung-ah 🥳🎉👏🙌 It’s a joy to see you doing great and loving your own craft. Thank you so much for letting us witness a masterpiece. Cheers to more masterpieces that you’ll make 🥳🎉👏🙌
