You know your impact is next-level when you’re not even online, not dropping selfies, not performing… and you still rack up 4.5 million messages while wearing combat boots. Yes, welcome to the magical universe of Kim Taehyung, aka BTS’s V, aka the most-loved human being on the Goondori military app, ever.
Let’s break this glorious chaos down because the numbers? Insane. The dominance? Absolute. The love? Eternal.
The Military Might’ve Taken His Phone, But Not His Power
V officially completed his military service on June 10, 2025, after 18 long months of silence that nearly broke the internet. But thanks to the Goondori app—a military communication platform for active-duty soldiers and their supporters—fans were able to send him messages throughout his service.
And boy, did they show up.
4.5 million messages. That’s not a typo. That’s 4.5 million purple confessions of love, loyalty, longing, and support, delivered right into the inbox of our Gucci-loving, jazz-humming, snowman-building prince.
Record? Smashed. Throne? Secured.
V didn’t just win the messaging war—he annihilated the leaderboard. Here’s how the top contenders stacked up:
- Kim Taehyung (V): 4.5 million
- Jimin: 2.7 million
- Jungkook: 2.5 million
- NCT’s Taeyong: 1.8 million
- SUGA: 1.7 million
- RM: 1.2 million
- SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan: 1.2 million
That means V had nearly twice as many messages as the next runner-up. And yes, it made him the first and only Korean celebrity to ever surpass 4 million messages on the app. He didn’t just lead the charts—he redesigned them.
ARMY: Loud, Proud, and Emotionally Unstable (In a Good Way)
As soon as the numbers dropped, ARMYs turned the internet into a Taehyung appreciation temple:
“Kim Taehyung was born to be loved. Wherever he goes, whoever he meets, people fall in love with him.”
“Congratulations, Taehyung! Always borahae 💜”
“Even in the military, King Kim Taehyung dominates. A real influencer.”
Honestly? They’re right. V’s impact isn’t bound by schedules, albums, or Instagram activity. He simply exists and the world responds with pure affection—and 4.5 million love notes, apparently.
Why This Actually Matters (Beyond Bragging Rights)
This isn’t just a fan achievement. It’s a reflection of how much BTS’s presence has changed what it means to serve in the military as a global star. It shows:
- Unshakeable fan loyalty: No content? No problem. ARMY still floods his inbox daily.
- Global influence: This isn’t just Korean fans. This is an international chorus of support.
- Emotional connection: People don’t just stan V for his visuals. They love his heart, his humor, his kindness, and his artistry.
Even behind a uniform, Taehyung remained a beacon of comfort and inspiration.
The Real Tea: The Man Was Born to Be Loved
V didn’t release any music while enlisted. He didn’t do dance challenges. He didn’t drop thirst traps (tragically). He just… existed in military silence. And yet, his name stayed trending, his fans stayed loyal, and his inbox exploded.
That kind of impact? That’s not manufactured. That’s Taehyung magic.
Final Thoughts: Kim Taehyung, Goondori Emperor and Eternal Heartthrob

Let’s not pretend this was a surprise. Taehyung doesn’t chase numbers—numbers chase him. Whether he’s releasing artful albums, whispering “I purple you,” or just doing squats in the military, ARMYs will show up for him. Every. Single. Time.
And now, with his discharge complete and his name at the top of the Goondori hall of fame, we can all agree: Kim Taehyung was born to be loved. And the world is just doing its job.
