In a recent announcement from Big Hit Music on Friday, V of BTS has achieved a significant milestone with his lead single, "Slow Dancing," garnering an impressive 200 million streams on Spotify. This track serves as the focal point of his inaugural solo album, "Layover." Notably, "Slow Dancing" marks V's fourth solo song to reach this remarkable streaming milestone, following the success of "Love Me Again," a B-side track from the album, along with the well-received drama theme songs "Sweet Night" and "Christmas Tree."

This achievement establishes a historic moment for K-pop, as no other solo artist from the genre has seen all tracks from an album simultaneously grace this prominent chart. The collective impact of the six tracks amounts to approximately 750 million plays, contributing to a cumulative total of 1.7 billion plays on V's Spotify page as of this week.

Adding to the anticipation among fans, V hinted at a new song on Tuesday. A glimpse into a video, shot within a recording studio, showcased a segment from an unreleased song, heightening excitement for what's to come from the talented artist.
