V BTS again set a new record on Spotify. As is well known, Spotify is one of the largest music streaming service providers in the world, with more than 433 million monthly active users, including 188 million premium subscribers so far, and it is likely that the subscribers will continue to grow.
On Sunday August 7, 2022, Allkpop reported that V BTS has surpassed 9 million followers on Spotify, even though he has only released three OSTs (original soundtracks) for Korean drama series, not solo albums. The three OSTs are "Christmas Tree" from the drama series "Our Beloved Summer" then "Sweet Night" from the drama series "Itaewon Class" and "It's Defintely You" from the drama series "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth."
BTS's V is now the only Korean soloist to surpass 9 million followers on Spotify without an official solo album or mixtape. He also holds the record of the only Korean soloist to have 3 OSTs surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify. Many people love V BTS's unique falsetto voice and musicality.
V's musicality was greatly influenced by his love of classical jazz. Eric Benet and Ruben Studdard were one of the jazz musicians who inspired him to compose songs. Since all BTS members have decided to focus more on solo activities since last June, V is expected to be able to release a solo album in the near future.
A well-known songwriter in Korea, namely Kim Eana revealed on the MBC Radio Star broadcast that she is working with BTS's V to create several songs that will be included in her solo album. The news was certainly greeted enthusiastically by netizens and fans. It is estimated that V BTS's solo album will be officially released at the end of this year or early 2023.
V is currently starring in the show "In the Soop: Friendcation" along with several of his artist friends such as Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Park Hyung Sik, and also Peakboy. It will continue to air Fridays on South Korean cable network JTBC at 9pm KST, and available on Disney+ at 11pm KST. Let's wait and see what other surprises a BTS V will give in the future!
