“Love Me Again,” a track from BTS’ V, has hit a new high note, surpassing 500 million streams on Spotify. This achievement marks the first time a B-side track from a K-pop artist has reached this milestone so quickly.
The song, which is part of V’s debut solo album, “Layover,” released in 2023, has been a fan favorite since its release. It’s not just the fans who are celebrating this achievement. The artist himself, also known as Kim Taehyung, has expressed his joy and gratitude for the overwhelming response to his music.
Despite currently serving in the South Korean army, V has been keeping his fans updated through the Weverse page. He even managed to attend a soccer match in his uniform earlier this month, causing quite a stir among his fans.
While V is away fulfilling his mandatory military service, his fans have plenty of content to enjoy. He has been featured in the music video for IU’s latest song, “Love Wins All,” where he played her love interest. He also released an English digital single titled “FRI(END)S,” which quickly gained attention and had over 75 million streams on Spotify just a few days after its release.
