ARMYs around the world congratulated BTS’ V for crossing around 11 million followers on Spotify without releasing any solo album this year.

Taking to Twitter, excited fans from around the world came together to get “11 MILLION FOR V” trending on top in K-pop as the singer became the most-followed Korean Act on Spotify without a solo debut or album release on the app.


This is a bigger deal for ARMYs as V reaches 11 million followers with just three OSTs on his official account

Kim Tae-hyung has released only three songs on his official Spotify account, and they are the three special OSTs he has ever worked on, all of which are related to his one famous friend’s group, the Wooga squad.

ARMYs, especially supporters of Tae-hyung, have been streaming and voting for him non-stop to reach a higher stage than before, as this month ends with his birthday. As a present, fans want to give him another no.1 on his records.

Some are also welcoming him back home from his private schedule.

Many are also voting for the OST king to win their Asian Celebrity Of The Year title by The Netizens Report, an American digital platform that publishes valid surveys from internet users worldwide.

Kim Tae-hyung released his first Original Sound Track (OST), Even if I die, it's you, in 2016 with his debut as an actor in a coming-of-age drama series called Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. The song about youthful love confession is filled with a refreshing vocal performance by V and his bandmate Kim Seok-jin.


Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth was the beginning of the Wooga team and its friendship

In 2020, Tae-hyung launched his second OST Sweet Night for the drama Itaewon Class, starring V's Hwarang mate, Park Seo-joon. The song was written and produced by Kim Taehyung himself and broke many records upon its release. His song brings out the sorrowful moments of the series while giving hope in the serene.

The soundtrack Christmas Tree was released in 2021 on Christmas eve, catching the attention of all drama lovers with his melodic and soft singing.

The singer gave out a mesmeric composition and won millions of hearts, especially when combined with the series' aesthetically pleasing vibes. The OST got over 23,000 sales on song charts and became the first Korean drama soundtrack by a solo artist to ever get featured on the Billboards.
