According to the World Music Awards, Jimin and K-pop singer Taeyang’s “VIBE” has already claimed the number one rank on the Worldwide iTunes Song chart.

Talking about why he decided to collaborate with BTS member Jimin, Taeyang says, “Two years ago, not many BTS members were carrying out careers as solo artists. When I was working on some songs after completing military service, producer Teddy came across and said people would love to see a collaboration between Jimin and me. It was mind-opening for me because I had never thought about it.”
