BTS V has recently set another history in the music scene after becoming the first South Korean to have more than 100 million streams on the Berlin-based online audio distribution platform and music sharing site called SoundCloud. What’s more, the 24-year old BTS member was able to do this with his three solo tracks.

Taehyung breaks the SoundCloud

This feat is hard to accomplish since this is one of the world’s largest streaming sites out there. As posted on Allkpop, the songs that helped BTS V to achieve this new record are “Winter Bear,” Singularity,” and “Scenery.”

The last-mentioned song piece was composed by Kim Taehyung himself and it was released in January 2019. After the very successful release of this track, it sets the foundation for his songwriting career.

In August of that same year, BTS V dropped his second solo called “Winter Bear.” This has become his first full English song. As for “Singularity,” it was released in 2018 and was included in BTS’ album titled “Love Yourself: Tear.”

BTS V’s fan club in Nepal tweeted that the exact figures for the streaming on SoundCloud is 187 million.

Meanwhile, BTS V is not the only one who often breaks records but his amazing fans are just as awesome as he is. The idol singer’s Chinese fan club called the China Baidu Bar recently made headlines after it was able to collect millions of won in just a short time.

The group has been raising money for events in the upcoming birthday celebration of BTS V. Of course, as they are also known to do charitable works, part of the funds will go to charity projects.

Baidu V Bar made a record for collecting for around USD$144,552 in just 1 minute. This amount further increased and after 59 days, the funds already grew to a massive USD$867,315. The total amount today was said to have reached more than a million dollars.
