BTS member Kim Taehyung‘s photobook, Rêvé, has become a bestseller on several online platforms, generating excitement and pride among fans. The photobook’s pre-orders, which began on January 14, 2025, quickly propelled it to the top of bestseller lists.
Sales Success and Platform Performance
The photobook Rêvé immediately topped bestseller lists on major South Korean online bookstores such as Yes24, Gmarket, Weverse Shop, and Kakao Talk. Its popularity extended to Japan, where it secured the top three spots on Rakuten, Japan’s largest online shopping mall. Rêvé also reached No.1 on Qoo10’s bestseller list. Pre-orders on Japan’s official Weverse sales site and Weverse Global sold out rapidly.

The high volume of pre-orders caused temporary inaccessibility on Universal Music Japan’s (UMJ) official website. UMJ later announced that the photobook was out of stock, having been the top-selling product on their website within the past 24 hours. Following this, the second round of sales debuted at No.2 on the chart, also securing the top spot in bestseller lists across all categories and becoming the most searched content on UMJ Japan.
