Solo song of BTS member V (23 and Kim Tae-hyung) is gathering topics on BBC radio, which is Nederlandse Publieke Omroep in the UK.
On the 25th (local time), V's Solo song Singularity was broadcast on BBC Radio following BTS' IDOL (idol). This is the third time that Korean songs have been broadcast on BBC radio with conservative characteristics, especially the broadcast of the Solo song of BTS member V is considered very unusual.
'Singularity' was selected as one of the '50 Best Tracks of the Month' in the British daily newspaper Guardian in June. The United States of America The LA Times praised V's solo stage in a BTS performance review, and the United States of America media Rolling Stone also commented that this song "reminisced to R & B singer Tevin Campbell who had been in the '90s."
Following Idol, V's Solo song was introduced to BBC radio one after another, which is interpreted as the fact that many local fans are paying attention to BTS' songs as well as the members' Solo songs after the World Tour Europe concert, and the status of K-pop is rising that much.
Meanwhile, BTS returned to Korea on the 24th after 52 days of Europe tour in North America and received the silver medal as the youngest person at the 2018 Pop Culture and Arts Awards ceremony held on the same day. BTS was named as a recipient of the award for promoting K-pop to the world and informing Hangul.
