Kim Taehyung is having a blast in Las Vegas just days after arriving in the city for BTS's upcoming GRAMMY performance and 'Permission to Dance' concerts.

On April 2, Taehyung shared a video of him dancing with his sleeves rolled up to Frank Sinatra's famous song 'Fly Me to the Moon' at a Jazz bar in Las Vegas. He captioned the post, "Shall we dance?🕺"


Being the biggest Jazz fan in the K-pop sphere, Taehyung was in his element, confidently dancing alone while being the only young bachelor in a crowd of elderly couples.

The video rightfully gained a lot of attention and quickly racked up 20 million views and 10 million likes in half a day, the fastest record for an Asian act on Instagram and the second worldwide. 

He surpassed the previous second-place held by Lionel Messi despite having 90% less his follower count. Not a surprising feat for the only individual Guinness World Record holder of BTS.

The video also became a hot topic among fans making 'KIM TAEHYUNG' trend to #1 on Twitter worldwide as fans discussed and reacted to the eye-catching video. 

Proving his status as the 'celebrities' celeb', the video also received a lot of love from various stars, public figures and industry professionals. No one was immune to Taehyung's effortless charms. 

Fans shared their reactions to Taehyung's adorable video. Many gushed over Taehyung's sexy confidence and smooth dance moves, while others also hilariously noted how Taehyung looked quite out of place among the older crowd.

If the Sinatra estate wants a little spike is Frank's music sales, they should reach out to V and have him pick an album of 10 of Sinatra's songs and release it worldwide. Bet that would suddenly get a lot of young people interested in Sinatra's work and several other singers of that era, who in some ways were the BTS of their day.
