Ten million fans from all over the world tuned in to BTS V's recent V Live broadcast.
According to a report by All Kpop, ARMYs were amazed by the huge turnout of viewers Kim Taehyung had for the broadcast, especially when they realized that not all of the fans who tuned in understood Korean.
A fan posted a screenshot showing 10 million real-time viewers and said that she was blown away by the BTS member's strong following.
Another fan said that what was more amazing was that only a small percentage of fans who tuned in understood what V was saying. There were no subtitles available on the live broadcast because they were only added the following day.
The fact that the fans simply tuned in to see his face and hear his voice was a testament to his strong influence all around the world.
Fans should not be surprised at the devotion that V commanded. For his recent birthday, V's Baidu Bar from China organized a light show on the Burj Khalifa, known as the world's tallest structure. It was the first time to light up with messages for a Kpop artist, Billboard reported.
A report from Somag indicated that fans were already preparing for V's large scale celebration months in advance. They were able to raise 1 million yuan for V's birthday celebration within one minute and ended up with total funding of 1.2 billion won before his birthday.
Before he received the fans ' generous birthday greetings, he sprung his own surprise for ARMYs on Christmas day. He released his solo track "Snow Flower" through Soundcloud and extended his warm wishes to fans. He said he hoped that white flowers will come down to their hearts so that they will feel the warmth and happiness of the holidays.
"Snow Flower" was a collaboration with V's good friend Peakboy, SCMP reported.
V said that "Snow Flower" was his way of reaching out to his supporters since his solo mixtape will take a little longer to release.
V is currently working on his first solo mixtape which fans are calling KTH1 or Kim Taehyung 1. This will be the first time that BTS's vocal line will release a solo album. According to V, he already wrote eight songs for the album but it is still unsure if they will all make it to the final cut.
