Without an official solo debut or mixtape release, BTS's Kim Taehyung, aka V, has achieved a remarkable feat as a Korean soloist.
His new original soundtrack, 'Christmas Tree' for the Korean drama series 'Our Beloved Summer,' debuted at #2 on both the Official UK Singles Sales and Downloads Chart Top 100.
Despite releasing an unpromoted song, Taehyung set a new record as the highest-charting Korean soloist on those two charts.

With this, Taehyung is currently the only Korean soloist with two songs in the Top 10 in both charts, as his previous OST 'Sweet Night' debuted at #10.
