BTS and V Win The Most Popular K-Pop Group and Solo Artist In Russia
It has been reported that BTS‘s V has recently won the most popular K-Pop artist inn Russia. Through online social media site, Vkontakte (VK), a community poll was held. He won the Autumn quarter’s polls.
Not only did he win in the solo artist category, V’s group, BTS, also won first place in the group popularity category. EXO came in close at second place, while BLACKPINK took third. With over 500 million users on the site, the K-Pop community page on VK is one of the top communities used.

Russia is considered a giant in the music streaming consumer market, as the world’s 17th country with the most streams.
