Kim Taehyung aka V of BTS recently became the first person to get six covers for  Vogue Korea. He achieved the record the first time he was featured individually as a cover model for a magazine.The recent crackdown on K pop by the Chinese government has not stopped Taehyungs Chinese fans from giving him their full support on his first solo magazine cover. 





Based on updated sales posted on October 2 Chinese fans have purchased a total of 72,852 copies of V's Vogue Korea magazine through various platforms.50,225 sales came through a group order organized by his fanclub Baidu Vbar while the rest was ordered by Chinese fans individually through other e commerce sites. The previous record was held by a member of another K-pop group with a group order sale of 49,000 copies, making Taehyung now #1 in the sales ranking among K-pop artists. 



Taehyungs high sales in China may not be surprising to most since he has been the most popular BTS member since the group debut years. Based on Septembers data Taehyung has retained his position as the most searched member on Baidu Chinas largest search engine  and has the highest index on Wechat Chinas largest instant messaging app. Although Taehyungs birthday is still 3 months away China Vbar has also started the first of their many birthday projects this year by placing an ad on all six versions of his Vogue Korea magazines.
