Another historical moment was recorded by ARMY following the donation pool they organized dedicated to the upcoming birthday celebration of BTS V. After the deadline of the collection; the total amount collected reached 530 Million Won which came from BTS China fanbase.
It's incredible how the money reached that amount, a half-billion won or estimating $462,000, even though the group doesn't have any activities or any show going on around the country yet.
This is just proof of how widespread and how broad BTS influence is, in which their songs and musicality reached different countries around the world. This achievement can be considered as an event that should be proud of, as one of the first donation events that got a considerable sum for a birthday event.
However, Taehyung or popularly known as V, as his stage name is well-known and recognized in China. In fact, he was the only member of the group who is continuously topping and is listed in the Top 100 Weibo Star in the site Weibo, which is the most used social media application in China. His BT21 version TATA, which is an official BTS merch, always went out of stock in China and had the highest sales account.
Another thing, it is evident that V is one of the most famous idols coming from Korea, with him being one of the most talked topics, and his name is also listed as one of the highest most recent search personalities on the said website.
On the other hand, back to the fundraising pool, the fanbase named the project "Vionysus," which is a term coined by ARMYs coming from V+Dionysus, as they notice how the idol and the god Dionysus is similar to each other, having the same godly features. This has been one of the nicknames of the idol, which fans think do suit him.
In addition to this, they also make a slogan for the project, saying, "I Purple You." "An Icon is born." a simple sentence that carries out much love not only for V but for the group as well.
Meanwhile, it is indeed true that like idol like fan, wherein @KIMTAEHYUNGBAR (one of the #1 fanbase of V based on China) ranked 43rd on the category of Hot Social Media Ranking for Weibo and the thing that everyone should be proud of is being part of the listing as the only fansite among 100 personalities with the highest fans' influence.
This is not the only project that proves their love and support for V. Still, on November, they revealed the second part of their birthday events for BTS V, and part of this is covering the whole Seoul's subway system with the birthday celebrant ads, and during his birthday, stars from the ads will appear lighting up the entire subway station. Also, if successful, this will become another story to be written in history.
The Subway ads display will start on December 21 and will end on January 3.
