BTS V’s photobook or photo-folio series Veautiful Days has been selling like hotcakes ever since it was made available for pre-orders starting December 9.
The multi-talented BTS member is one of the most popular K-pop idols at the moment, and hence it comes as no surprise that only nine days after the pre-orders were announced, BTS V’s photofolio series Veautiful Days ranked first in the photobook sales rankings on Japan’s largest internet mall Rakuten.
Not only that, Veautiful Days topped the best-selling rankings in Universal Music Store Japan and came second in search rankings for the same. Yahoo Japan showed similar search results as well where BTS V’s photofolio was the best-selling K-pop item.
BTS V’s merchandise has been a hot-seller item in Japan for the second time this year
The year 2022 has been a significant one for BTS. Not only have the members announced their plans for enlisting in the military, but they have also full-fledgedly launched their solo activities.
BTS’ V had some interesting projects under wraps as well. For one, the idol made his solo magazine cover debut with Vogue Korea for its October issue, becoming the first celebrity to feature on all six covers of the same magazine publication. It broke the record for the highest weekly sales for a magazine on Ktown4u when it surpassed 50,000 pre-orders.
Not only that, it was the hottest-selling K-pop merch in Japan, and his Vogue Korea solo covers were displayed in Japan’s largest bookstore chain, Tsutaya Bookstore. They were displayed in Shibuya and Ginza, Tokyo, where the staff had to restock the magazines due to popular demand. In fact, the idol even had a separate section dedicated to him in Tsutaya Bookstore.
Only two months following that, BTS’ V is back with another best-selling item - his photo-folio series Veautiful Days, a charming wordplay of his stage name, "V," and the English word "Beautiful."
In the photo series, the Inner Child singer seems to be inspired by a 19th-century British gentleman, reinterpreted in his own way. According to fans, the idol seems to have channeled his inner Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and Anthony Bridgerton from Netflix’s Bridgerton.
Dressed in sharp suits while donning hats and flaunting canes and pocket watches, BTS’ V channels the retro English vibe with an effortless gaze, earning praise for his handsome visuals, interesting photobook concept, and charisma from global fans.
As mentioned previously, the photobook is currently a hot-selling item on Japan’s e-commerce sites and internet shopping malls like Rakuten, Yahoo Japan, and Universal Music Store Japan.
ARMYs are happy and proud that BTS’ V had a majorly successful year with his two solo activities and have taken to social media to express their excitement for the same.
The pre-orders began on December 9 and global shipping will begin on December 23 according to an update by Weverse Shop. The photobook is said to be a special gift for BTS V’s birthday month.
