The world-renowned member of BTS, Taehyung or also known as V, indeed holds an unpredictable level of influence around the globe as on the 10th of March, it was reported through social media, that the idol's Chinese Fan base had broken another record again, being dubbed as the highest amount of album fan base purchaser.
According to the post that is circulating online, China Baidu Bar, a famous fan base of V, which is located in China, had purchased a total of 220,000 album copies as soon as BTS latest album, "MAP OF THE SOUL:7" has been released for pre-selling. In addition to this, the amount of the album purchase reaches around 5.165 Billion Korean Won, or approximately 4.3 Million US Dollars.
The purchases were conducted through an official site that counts the sale to Korean charts, ktwon4u, wherein sales serve as one of the criteria that fans should work hard on, for a group to record wins during their participation or nominations in music shows.
Following this announcement, international ARMYs react on the unbelievable support and love Chinese fans have been exerting for V, as well as Korean netizens were also amazed by the efforts and amount of money the fan base has been spending.
"Continental Prince= Kim Taehyung."
"V is popular not only in Korea but as well as in China and Japan."
"5.2 Billion? This is amazing!"
In addition to this, some K-pop fandoms are also commenting on the dedication that V's Chinese fans are giving to their idol, especially that they are coming from another country.
"I envy him; I hope my bias has many overseas fans as well."
Moreover, some netizens think that if Taehyung or V would release his solo album, it would surely become a hit, wondering if his albums will be sold out on the first day of the album selling.
"It would be crazy if V releases a solo album, his Chinese fan base often bought albums of BTS, but I am curious of how many would they be purchasing if it's a solo album."
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Chinese Baidu Bar has amazed everyone due to their generous way of showing their support to BTS V.
It was reported last year that during the idol's birthday, the same fan base had gained half Billion Won after organizing a donation pool in celebration of the V's special day. Furthermore, in light of their idol's birthday, they covered the whole subway of Seoul, lighting up everything with BTS V's ads.
On the other hand, the idol's popularity in the country is no joke, being the most talk and most search in Weibo despite not being Chinese. His merchandises were also often out of stock due to the amount of its demand. BTS V hasn't been actively promoting in China, and if it would happen, chances that the idol's influence and domination of the fans in the country will become more prominent.
