BTS's V continues to prove his massive popularity in Japan, dominating various ranking sites once again.

From September 30 to October 6, V took 1st place in the male idol ranking on Japan’s popular idol site, 'NEHAN,' marking his 184th week at the top! He also grabbed 1st place for 33 weeks straight in the 'Actor Popularity Ranking' category on 'BIHAN,' a site dedicated to Korean actors. On top of that, V has held the top spot for 180 weeks in the ‘20s Korean Actor’ category.

But that's not all! On 'K-board,' a K-culture site, V ranked 1st for 140 weeks in the 'K-pop Idol Popularity Ranking.' He also led the ‘Korean Drama Male Actor Election’ and ‘Flower Boy Election,’ securing his spot both in real-time and overall rankings. His popularity on 'KPOP JUICE' is unbeatable too, where he received over 5.09 million votes, taking 1st place in all periods.

Japan is currently experiencing its "fourth Hallyu wave," with K-pop, K-dramas, and Korean beauty products becoming hugely popular. V has played a big part in this. His song for the drama Itaewon Class helped bring many K-pop fans into the world of K-dramas, and his appearance in Hwarang also made a strong impact, leading to a stage adaptation in Japan.

During his promotional activities in Japan last year, V appeared on popular TV shows like TBS and Fuji TV, capturing the attention of Japanese viewers. After the broadcasts, he trended on Yahoo Japan, with V-related keywords dominating the search rankings.

Although V has only appeared in one drama, Hwarang, fans in Japan are eagerly waiting for more from actor Kim Taehyung. He’s consistently voted as the most popular Korean actor, showing just how loved he is.

V’s music career is just as successful. His solo album Layover, released last year, hit the highest spot for a K-pop solo artist on Japan’s Oricon 'Yearly Ranking 2023' and was the only solo album in the ‘Best-Selling K-pop Albums Top 10’ chart. His latest LP for Layover also topped the Oricon 'Daily Album Ranking' and Amazon Japan’s sales charts.

V’s popularity in Japan as both a singer and actor is undeniable, and it seems like there's no stopping him.
