BTS’ V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has done it again! The K-pop superstar has charted three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024, marking a monumental achievement in his solo career. His latest release, “White Christmas,” a heartwarming duet with the legendary Bing Crosby, debuted at No. 93 on the December 17 rankings.
This festive track is a reimagined version of the holiday classic, blending V’s soulful vocals with Bing Crosby’s timeless charm. The accompanying music video adds an emotional touch, featuring an animated Bing Crosby and V’s beloved late pet dog, Yeotan, creating a heartfelt tribute that resonated deeply with fans.
“White Christmas” joins V’s other 2024 chart-toppers: “FRI(END)S” at No. 65 and “Winter Ahead” at No. 99. These successes cement V as the first K-pop idol to chart three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single year. In total, this marks V’s sixth solo entry on the chart, following hits like “Christmas Tree” (No. 79), “Love Me Again” (No. 96), and “Slow Dancing” (No. 51).
Beyond his Billboard triumphs, V has been making waves in the music world. From his standout role as IU’s love interest in her music video “Love Wins All” to his English single “FRI(END)S,” which has already surpassed 200 million streams on Spotify, V continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His 2023 solo debut album, Layover, featuring hits like “Slow Dancing” and “Rainy Days,” set the stage for his meteoric rise as a solo artist.
With “White Christmas” lighting up the holiday season and his consistent chart dominance, V is proving that his artistry transcends genres and borders. As the year comes to a close, one thing is clear—2024 belongs to Kim Taehyung!
