P1Harmony (Keeho, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul, Jongseob) continues to show their strength on the U.S. Billboard charts with their latest mini album SAD SONG. The group has been charting for three consecutive weeks, proving their growing global influence.

As of Billboard’s October 19 update, SAD SONG ranked 5th on the 'World Albums' chart, 19th on 'Top Album Sales', and 18th on 'Top Current Album Sales'. This impressive performance highlights the album’s strong reception both in the U.S. and internationally.

The title track, SAD SONG, expresses feelings of emptiness and loneliness after saving the world—a theme that resonated deeply with fans. P1Harmony’s powerful live performances have captured attention, with their stage presence and energy standing out during this comeback.

One of the group's biggest achievements with this album was debuting at No. 16 on the Billboard 200, marking their highest position to date. They also topped the 'World Albums' chart and took 1st place on 'Independent Albums', showing just how far they've come. Their strong Billboard presence, including 3rd place on both 'Top Album Sales' and 'Top Current Album Sales', along with 14th on the 'Artist 100', reflects their growing global impact.

Though P1Harmony has wrapped up promotions for SAD SONG, they’re not slowing down. Fans can look forward to their upcoming performance in Washington, D.C. on December 17, as they continue to connect with fans around the world.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
