2021 has only begun, and BTS member V, who ruled 2020, has kicked off the new year by becoming the most-followed BTS member and one of the most-followed soloists on Korean streaming platforms like Melon and Genie, and Daum’s Fancafe.

V, who has only 2 solo releases under his name on streaming platforms, not only surpassed all fellow BTS members in terms of followers on individual profile but stands tall as the 7th most-followed Korean solo artist and 5th most-followed male solo artist on Melon in 2021.

He is the most followed BTS member on Genie and simultaneously ranks as the 12th most-followed male soloist, and the 15th most followed soloist on the platform.

V has only released 2 OSTs so far. ‘Even if I die, it’s you’ was V’s duet with BTS member Jin for ‘Hwarang; a Poet Warrior,’ a drama in which he acted too. The other song released by him was the record-breaking OST, ‘Sweet Night’ for ‘Itaewon Class.’


V, whose name is Kim Taehyung, is known to be very interactive with fans and always takes time out of his busy schedule for his fans. It’s no wonder that he had the most followers on Daum’s Fancafe.

Even though BTS has moved to Bighit Entertainment’s own forum, ‘Weverse,’ his popularity stays high as his sign-making hashtag was 2020’s 2nd most popular hashtag with 531k entries.

Even with such limited and under-promoted endeavors, V continues to rank high and among fellow popular soloists like IU and Zico. He is truly a musician to watch out for.
