BTS’ V surpasses 17 million followers on Spotify
Since the debut of BTS’ V's album Layover on September 8, 2023, its tracks have been steadily gaining traction through organic growth. Notably, the BTS sensation has adopted a more proactive role in promoting his music, reducing reliance on his entertainment company, HYBE, and harnessing his personal influence. He actively pursued collaborations with various brands and made appearances on shows to effectively advertise and promote the songs from his album.
V's recent milestone of reaching 17 million followers on Spotify sets him apart as the first and only Korean pop soloist to achieve such a feat. This accomplishment is especially remarkable, given that accumulating followers on Spotify is often more challenging than garnering streams.

V's influence extends beyond music to social media, where he's become one of the most liked male figures on Instagram in 2024. His success on Spotify is equally impressive, with his album Layover reaching unprecedented streaming numbers. Surpassing 1.1 billion streams, Layover features standout tracks like Love Me Again and Slow Dancing, entertaining listeners worldwide. Love Me Again has even secured its place in Spotify history, entering the Top 10 most streamed songs by a K-pop soloist, a source of immense pride for fans of the BTS member.
