BTS’s V Shatters Records with Explosive Dance Video

A Record-Breaking Dance Debut

BTS’s V, fresh from his military discharge, has taken the world by storm with his latest dance video. Released just a day after his return, V’s performance featuring the remix of ‘Don’t Drop That Thun Thun (Remix 98 BPM)’ alongside dancer Lee Jung, has amassed a striking 60 million views in just two days.

Such a massive response in record time underscores V’s immense popularity and global appeal. In just two hours post-release, the video hit the 20 million mark, skyrocketing to 50 million views within 22 hours.

Military Precision Meets Musical Groove

V showcased a unique visual flair by donning a military outfit in this video, pairing perfectly with Lee Jung to form the visually dynamic duo, “Military Twins”. V mentioned during a live broadcast following his discharge, “I originally weighed around 61kg but gained up to 80kg during my service. By focusing on a special diet and exercise routine, I’ve managed to trim back to 66kg.” His renewed slender physique brought an airy and groovy vibe to his dance, drawing attention from fans worldwide.

A Passion for Dance

V’s love for dance is evident, as he once wrote to fans during the last Festa, “These days, I often find myself dancing in the corner alone. My body itches for movement, and I want to stay in touch with my identity.” Even during a short three-day leave from the military last November, he released a dance video with Lee Jung, illustrating his unyielding passion for dance.

His promise, “Next year, I’ll dance once more,” made in the message accompanying that video, was fulfilled almost immediately after his discharge. V stunned fans by rapidly learning and executing two dance routines within a day, spurring admiration and praise from fans and netizens alike.

The Dance Machine

Fellow BTS performance director Son Sung Deuk has often applauded V’s quick grip on choreography; his memory is remarkable, with fans dubbing him a “Dance Vending Machine”. From the ‘Hype Boy’ challenge to the enigmatic ‘Smoke’ challenge, V has conquered a myriad of genres including crump, hip-hop, jazzy hip-hop, and even girl-group dances with ease.

His videos consistently stir vibrant reactions and fuel dance challenge trends across social platforms globally. One of his fans on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “Is there any idol daring enough to challenge V with a new or old song?” This comment has accumulated over 1,000 comments as fervent K-pop fans wish their favorites to take on the challenge alongside V.

V’s Influence and Anticipation

V’s dance videos have sparked a widespread enthusiasm for dance challenges worldwide, further cementing BTS’s global dominance in the pop culture landscape. With fans eagerly awaiting his next move, V’s influence continues to rise.
