Netizens expressed joy and list out the success of BTS V's track, 'Christmas Tree'

V's solo track, Christmas Tree, has garnered tons of love and attention ever since its release. In December 2021, the song managed to trend on Spotify, so it was just a matter of time before his melody was recognized as an international sensation.

Fans from across the internet cannot stop gushing about the track. Some have posted the song's success on other platforms, while others congratulated the young star on his success.

One fan expressed how unprepared they felt to receive so many solo tracks from BTS members back to back.

K-Pop is making it big internationally

Many K-pop bands and artists like NCT 127, Blackpink, Twice, Monsta X, and more had their music featured on the Billboards at some point. The K-pop industry has garnered a lot of international fans over the years.

Now, with BTS being the current biggest K-pop act, soundtracks from the band and band-members are fetching a lot of love and attention.
