According to Forbes, V's song entitled 'Sweet Night' has sold over 11,000 copies already. Although he did not get number 1, V is still off to an impressive start, getting a higher rank over big-name stars such as OneRepublic and country music star Luke Bryan.
The song is part of the soundtrack of the Korean drama Itaewon Class. Soompi has confirmed V's participation in the soundtrack for the drama as early as March 6. The drama stars South Korean superstar Park Seo Joon, idol Kwon Nara from Hello Venus, and newcomer Kim Dami. The drama became a hit in the country and even with international fans, as it is shown through Netflix.

This new offering from V follows the success of fellow BTS member J-Hope. J-Hope's song 'Chicken Noodle Soup' also made it to the Digital Song Sales chart, ranking number 9.
