The tangible trophy for earning the Top Spot as the MVP song on Tokyo FM was recently handed to Kim Taehyung, a member of BTS, for his collaboration with American artist UMI, titled wherever u r.
Taehyung released the duet “wherever u r” on his birthday, December 30, 2023, and the ARMYs (BTS fandom) hold it in high regard because it was a gift from him. He left for his required military service on December 11, 2023, not long after this.
The song has been trending since its debut on American singer-songwriter UMI’s official YouTube channel. After hearing the news, fans expressed their admiration for the two singers on social media.
An important factor in the song’s MVP award was Tokyo FM, a major Japanese radio station, which acknowledged the song’s greatness. The global significance and popularity of the BTS member and UMI’s partnership is demonstrated by this recognition. Adding Tokyo FM, a prominent figure in Japan’s music industry, to your list of accomplishments is a huge deal.
