BTS member V released his self-composed ballad, 'Scenery' exactly 2 years ago (January 30, 2019) on SoundCloud as a present for his fans.
Within just 2 years after its release, the song broke many records. From being the fastest song to reach 100M streams on SoundCloud to be the most-liked and most-streamed song in the first 24hrs, Scenery has seen all the fame that SoundCloud can offer as a platform.
Fans believe that the beauty of the song and the cause of its success lies in the way V has intricately crafted it by blending his passionate love for art and photography with his love for music and laying out a rather musically picturesque scenery of his youth and preserving it through the beautiful notes in the song.
Fans celebrated the 2nd year anniversary by being generous as ever as they have beautifully incorporated the basic yet rare quality of being kind that their idol preaches.
Many projects were organized to help the visually impaired and targeted organizations dedicated to eradicating preventable Vision Loss and looking after people who have defects in vision.
Fanbases donated to 'Helen Keller Intl' and 'B.L.I.N.D Inc.'
Not only fanbases, but even individual fans rose to the occasion and made sure that the 2nd Anniversary of V's most-streamed song on SoundCloud would be celebrated in a way that benefits society.
A Korean fan donated 1,000,000 won ($900) to V's elementary school in Geochang to establish a scholarship in his name. Another fan donated to reunite child soldiers with their families.
Moreover, fans were thoughtful enough of the pandemic that has rattled the lives of all and made sure that they can serve their community. V's Chile Fanbase financed potable water filters to prevent diseases caused by drinking dirty and polluted water. It was received well by fans as Chile is going through a water crisis, and such considerate steps will help paint the beautiful scenery of the country.
Apart from the generous donations, fans took to Twitter to congratulate V on the success of his song and to thank him for gifting them with something so soothing that the whisper of V's warn voice always lingers in their hearts through blue & grey.
The hashtag #2YearsWithScenery trended at #1 Worldwide with around 247k tweets. Multiple keywords related to the song trended worldwide across many countries.
Even though it was not released on streaming platforms like Melon and Spotify, Scenery enjoys immense popularity in South Korea as well as all around the world. It is often used as background music in dramas and shows, proving V's strong connection with the general public.
Great song of V 💜
