BTS’ V sets a Spotify record with the top two most-streamed Korean OSTs in history—Christmas Tree (Our Beloved Summer) and Sweet Night (Itaewon Class).

Both the OSTs surpassed Stay With Me, the official soundtrack of The Guardian: Lonely and Great God, sung by Punch and EXO’s Chanyeol.

Sweet Night became the most-streamed Korean OST on Spotify two years ago, surpassing Stay With Me, which is now placed third on the list. Christmas Tree is ranked second on the list.

BTS’ V’s fans are proud and happy with his latest achievement and have taken to social media to express their pride. “Congratulations Taehyung” and “OST King V” were mentioned frequently in fan tweets.


BTS’ V’s fans take to social media to celebrate his latest achievement on Spotify

Fans of BTS’ V took to social media to celebrate his latest achievement of having the top two most-streamed OSTs on Spotify. Sweet Night currently has 285 million streams, while Christmas Tree is in second place with 240 million streams.

Coincidentally, both Christmas Tree and Sweet Night are OSTs from K-dramas that starred the singer’s best friends, actors Choi Woo-sik and Park Seo-joon.

Sweet Night was originally a song that the BTS singer had saved for his debut solo album. He chose to use the OST instead for his friend Park Seo-joon's drama Itaewon Class, a heartfelt drama about a common man's triumph over a rich and powerful tycoon as he settles personal scores with him.

The OST is dedicated to Park Sae-royi’s (Park Seo-joon) growing feelings for Jo Yi-seo (Kim Da-mi).

The other song, Christmas Tree, is the OST for his other best friend Choi Woo-sik’s drama Our Beloved Summer, a charming and sunny drama about first love and reunion in which two former classmates reunite after years apart due to a high school documentary they filmed years ago.

The OST is dedicated to Choi Woong (Choi Woo-sik) and Kook Yeon-soo (Kim Da-mi) and their heartwarming love and togetherness. Coincidentally, both dramas feature Kim Da-mi as the lead actress.

Additionally, V’s melodious Christmas Tree was the first Korean OST to enter Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It was also the first Korean song to make its solo debut on Billboard's US Digital Song Sales chart at the number one spot.

Besides Sweet Night being the most streamed Korean OST of all time, V holds the record for the most streamed Korean OST for three consecutive years. Sweet Night remained at the top in 2020 and 2021, and Christmas Tree in 2022.

Now, since BTS members are busy pursuing their solo careers, fans are anticipating V’s debut solo album whenever it comes.
