    "Sweet Night" was featured as part of the hit drama Itaewon Class OST and was released on March 13, 2020.

The song broke records by becoming the first track in history to reach No. 1 in 119 countries on iTunes, even surpassing Adele’s legendary record. TIME magazine also highlighted its magic, calling it "a beautiful blend of V’s deep voice and the warmth of the acoustic guitar melody."

    V’s OST success isn’t limited to "Sweet Night". On Spotify, "Sweet Night" and his other OST "Christmas Tree" hold the No. 1 and No. 2 spots as the most-streamed Korean OSTs on the platform.

    Billboard Korea also celebrated other iconic OSTs, including Goblin’s "I Will Go to You Like the First Snow", Crash Landing on You’s "Give You My Heart", and Squid Game Season 2’s "To You", but it’s clear that "Sweet Night" continues to shine as a standout masterpiece.
