BTS member V has given fans a close look at his daily routine during the group’s world tour, and one detail stood out more than the rest. The singer was filmed studying Spanish late at night after finishing his schedule in Los Angeles, showing that his efforts to connect with fans go well beyond the stage.
The footage arrived through a vlog titled “3 DAYS IN LA | V’s VLOG” on the official BANGTANTV YouTube channel. The 21-minute video shows three days of V’s life in Los Angeles during BTS’s “Arirang” world tour, mixing performance preparations with quiet personal moments.
What the Vlog Shows
The vlog captures V away from the spotlight. He shares a meal with j-hope and Jung Kook at a local restaurant, giving viewers a look at how the members spend their downtime together between shows.
The video also reveals the group’s accommodation in Los Angeles. Members and staff share sashimi made from a fish caught by Jin, and they celebrate RM’s birthday together, with relaxed moments that contrast with the pressure of large stadium performances.
Physical preparation is part of the routine as well. V is seen doing push-ups before a show and playing basketball after finishing on stage, keeping his energy levels steady across the demanding tour schedule.
Late-Night Spanish Study Draws Attention
The scene that caught the most attention came late at night. After finishing his daily schedule, V sat at a desk and practiced Spanish, continuing his studies even as the tour moved from city to city.
His efforts are not new. During BTS’s South American concerts, V had already greeted local fans in Spanish, and the vlog showed the steady work behind those moments. In the video, he practices several sentences and shares a message with fans in Spanish.
“I’ll try my best to be able to talk to you all. I feel happy that I can understand more and more.” – V, in his “3 DAYS IN LA” vlog
The study sessions are part of a longer pattern. V has been learning Spanish to communicate directly with fans in Latin America, moving beyond prepared greetings and working toward natural conversation.
Spanish Lessons on Stage in South America
The vlog arrived after BTS’s South American tour stops, where V’s Spanish drew notice from local media and fans. At a concert in Bogotá, Colombia, he addressed the crowd in Spanish, mixing in local expressions that resonated with the audience.
“Estoy estudiando español, pero mi español todavía no es muy bueno. ¿Mi español está bien? No les creo. Entonces ayúdame, PARCE.” – V speaking in Bogotá, Colombia, on October 3, 2026
The word “parce” is a common Colombian informal term, and its use brought an immediate reaction from the crowd. He also used expressions like “Bogotá está muy bacano” and “Qué chimba”, showing an awareness of how people actually speak in the country.
The impact was measurable. Search interest in V reached the maximum peak score of 100 on Google Trends after the Bogotá concerts, according to the Korea Herald.
Language-learning platform Duolingo also responded to his efforts, calling him “one of my best students” in a message that joined the wider conversation around his Spanish practice.
Fans React to the Effort Behind the Stage
Fan communities and comment sections filled with reactions to the late-night study scenes. Many pointed to the contrast between V’s stage presence and the quiet discipline shown in the vlog.
- One comment read: “Studying Spanish even during the world tour… that’s amazing.”
- Another wrote: “Taehyung studying Spanish during the world tour is really cool. Seeing his unexpected charm in daily life makes me like him even more.”
- A separate comment noted: “He’s already a world star, but he keeps learning new things and moving forward. That’s impressive.”
The reaction extended beyond Korean and English-speaking fans. Spanish-language outlets covered his efforts during the Latin American leg, and fans in Peru expressed hope before the Lima shows that V would speak Spanish on stage, referencing his Bogotá speech as a sign of what to expect.
