It’s that exciting time again—Purple Month is here, which means BTS FESTA is just around the corner! This year’s celebration is extra special as the long-awaited BTS reunion is finally happening. After nearly three years apart, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook will reunite this June, filling the air with joy and anticipation.
Meanwhile, ahead of the big comeback, BTS’ V (Taehyung) continues to shine with another remarkable achievement during his military service.
On May 23, it was announced that “Slow Dancing,” the lead track from his debut solo album Layover, has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify. This marks his third solo song to reach this milestone, following “Love Me Again” and “FRI(END)S.”
Even while fulfilling his mandatory military duty, V’s music remains a powerful voice for him. His popularity remains strong, fueled by the unwavering love and loyalty of ARMYs worldwide who continue to celebrate his artistry.
That’s not all—on May 14, V earned international acclaim at the Top 50 Music Awards 2025 in Spain, winning three categories: Best K-pop Artist, Best Song for “FRI(END)S,” and Best Fanbase. Just days earlier, on May 8, he was honoured with a Spotify plaque for crossing 1 billion streams on “Love Me Again.”
These milestones are a testament to V’s timeless talent. Even in his absence, his impact is undeniable. His music, artistry, and devoted fans keep him at the forefront. V is set to be discharged from military service on June 10, 2025, alongside RM.
Huge shoutout to BTS’ V—the influence is undeniable, the legacy is solid, and this is only the beginning.
