"4 O'CLOCK" is a duet of the said two BTS members and was released for the group's 2017 FESTA. This track has been steadily loved as it is frequently used as the background music in broadcasts.

In an interview, dropped for their 2021 FESTA, Kim Taehyung revealed that he wrote "4 O'CLOCK" because it was the time when he met Jimin at the park after their iconic "dumpling incident."

Before "4 O'CLOCK," BTS V has already had two other self-composed songs to hit more than 80 million streams on SoundCloud.

Taehyung's first self-written song, "Scenery," released in January 2019, is his first solo track to reach the milestone on the platform.

At the time of the song's release, it already set an all-time record for the most likes in 24 hours among the tracks on SoundCloud. It also set the record for the shortest time to reach 100 million streams, being able to do so in only 15 days.

The second self-composed song by Kim Taehyung with over 80 million streams is "Winter Bear."

V's "Winter Bear," which was a surprise release in August 2019, is a track that shows off his own music world with calm and warm lyrics, the sound of an acoustic guitar, and his unique singing style.

"Winter Bear" has reached 138 million streams on SoundCloud so far, and its music video has surpassed 75 million views on YouTube.

With all of his self-composed songs, BTS V has become the first K-pop solo artist to have three songs with more than 80 million streams on SoundCloud.
