BTS V is no stranger in breaking records, even his own.

Group BTS (BTS) member V's self-composed song 'Sweet Night' set a great record, rising to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Song Chart in 117 countries.

With this ,'Sweet Night ''killed' the European, Arab, North American and African charts. Among the countries where iTunes is officially serviced, only Nepal, Turkmenistan and Venezuela remain.

'Sweet Night' is significant because it is a record achieved only with V's brand without promotion. After the release of the sound source, it was the only member of the BTS to win the top songs on iTunes in the U.S. and U.K., and the breakthrough began.

The US Times magazine 'Sweet Night' praised V's ability as a vocal, lyricist, and composer by evaluating V's deep voice as a song that stands out with emotional lyrics and warm melody.

In hand in hand with Sweet Night, V’s solo track: “Inner Child” from BTS’s mega-hit album: “Map of The Soul:7” has also set a remarkable record. As of today, the song has achieved #1 in 89 countries, marking V as the first and only artist to have two solo songs reign over the charts of 89 countries by breaking his own record.
