Kim Taehyung, aka V from BTS, continues to achieve music milestones even while on hiatus for his mandatory military service.
‘FRI(END)S’ is now the first song by a K-pop act released in 2024 to reach 100 million streams on Spotify. Additionally, ‘FRI(END)S’ becomes Taehyung’s 7th song under his solo profile to hit this milestone.
Alongside its streaming milestone, ‘FRI(END)S’ has also sold over 100,000 units in the US three weeks after its release, marking it as his 8th song to do so.
As of April 2024, ‘FRI(END)S’ continues to hold the record for the biggest first-day and first-week song debut among both Korean soloists and K-pop acts in 2024.
‘FRI(END)S,’ a pop soul R&B track that expresses the desire to “put the ‘end’ in friends” and elevate a longstanding friendship to a deeper level, as cleverly hinted by the title’s wordplay.
