BTS's V shone with global popularity by exceeding 1.5 billion streams on Spotify's official page.
V surpassed 1.5 billion streams on Spotify's official page on October 21. This is a milestone set 43 days after the release of V's first solo album 'Layover' on September 8.
V's 'Layover' album became the most streamed album on Spotify on the first day among albums released in 2023. He then set a new record for becoming the first K-pop solo album to surpass 100 million streams on Spotify in the first week of release.
At the same time, for the first time in a K-pop solo album, all of the songs included entered Spotify's global weekly chart in the first week of release, showing off the powerful sound source power.
In addition, within 33 days of its release on the 11th, it shortened the previous record of 58 days by half, becoming the fastest K-pop solo singer to surpass 500 million streams on Spotify, and also surpassed 550 million streams within 41 days of its release, becoming the fastest K-pop solo singer to do so. 
By setting a new record for the shortest streaming, they once again demonstrated their status as the strongest music powerhouse.
V has proven his musical capabilities as a singer-songwriter by consistently releasing his own music that is different from BTS. In particular, overseas media highly praised V's musical capabilities, including his lyrics, composition, and arrangement.
