Additionally, he released “Winter Bear” later that year, marking his first all-English song.
Not only has Taehyung proven his musical prowess, but he has also showcased his versatility as an actor.

In 2020, Taehyung impressed with his indie pop single “Sweet Night,” featured on the soundtrack of the JTBC drama “Itaewon Class.” The song received rave reviews and debuted at number two on Billboard’s US Digital Songs chart.
Continuing his successful streak in 2021, Taehyung delivered the enchanting single “Christmas Tree” for the Studio N television series “Our Beloved Summer.” This release marked his first solo entry on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart, debuting at number 79.
Beyond his artistic pursuits, Taehyung has ventured into the realm of reality television. He starred in the Disney+ series “In the Soop: Friendcation” and appeared in the Prime Video exclusive cooking-travel series “Jinny’s Kitchen” alongside esteemed actors and friends.
With his immense popularity and influence, it comes as no surprise that Taehyung has recently been announced as a brand ambassador for the Indonesian investment company SimInvest and as a global ambassador for the renowned French luxury brand Celine.
