BTS member Kim Taehyung, also known as V, created a memorable moment during the group’s ARIRANG World Tour stop in Brussels. On July 1, 2026, during the first of two sold-out shows at King Baudouin Stadium, Taehyung noticed a fan crying in the front row and decided to give her his Celine jacket.
The moment happened during the walkthrough section of the concert when Taehyung was moving close to the crowd. He took off the green Celine zip-up jacket he was wearing as part of his stage outfit and handed it directly to the emotional fan. Videos and photos from the concert quickly spread across social media, showing Taehyung gently patting the fan’s head after giving her the jacket.
Fan Reactions Pour in Across Social Media
The internet exploded with reactions from ARMY members worldwide after videos of the jacket gift appeared online. Many fans expressed both jealousy and admiration for Taehyung’s kind gesture.
One fan commented:
“Was that ARMY someone who saved a country in a past life?”
Another fan wrote:
“Jealousy is an illness, and I think I have it now.”
The head pat caught special attention from fans. One person shared:
“A jacket can be given to anyone, but do you know what it means that he patted the fan’s head? It should have been me.”
Some fans focused on Taehyung’s character rather than their jealousy. One fan said:
“He is someone who makes me believe kindness is real.”
Another fan called him “a true king” for sharing such a personal moment with fans.
Why This Jacket Gift Matters More Than Usual
This was not just any jacket. Taehyung serves as a global ambassador for Celine, a position he has held since March 2023. Just days before the Brussels concert, on June 28, 2026, Taehyung attended the Celine Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show in Paris. The green jacket he gave away was part of the brand’s latest menswear line.
The exact price of the Celine jacket has not been shared publicly, but given the brand’s luxury status, fans estimate it could be worth millions of Korean won. This adds another layer to why the gift became such a big talking point among ARMY members.
BTS Makes History in Belgium
The Brussels concerts marked BTS’s first-ever performances in Belgium. The group played two shows at King Baudouin Stadium on July 1 and July 2, 2026. Around 60,000 fans attended each night, with people traveling from across Europe to see the group.
The ARIRANG World Tour is a massive 79-stadium tour running through 2026 and 2027. After Brussels, BTS will continue their Europe tour with stops in London, Munich, and Paris.
Taehyung’s History of Fan Interactions
This is not the first time Taehyung has done something special for fans during concerts. He has built a reputation for spontaneous gestures that show his care for ARMY members. Earlier, he poured water into a fan’s mouth during another concert, which also created a buzz online.
BTS members have a history of giving away their clothing items to fans during performances. These moments usually go viral within minutes as ARMY members share videos and try to identify the lucky recipients.
Videos and Photos Spread Quickly
Multiple angles of the jacket gift moment appeared online through fan-taken videos and photos. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and other sites saw a flood of posts showing the interaction from different perspectives.
One video showed Taehyung stroking the fan’s head to comfort her because she was so emotional. This detail made many fans even more emotional about the moment.
What Makes This Gift Special
The jacket gift carries extra meaning because of Taehyung’s connection to Celine. He had just walked in the brand’s fashion show in Paris days before. The jacket he gave away was not tour merchandise but a designer piece from a top fashion house.
Fans also noted that Taehyung’s wardrobe pieces have become even more valuable during this tour cycle because of his growing profile in the fashion world.
