After stepping off the runway and back into the real world, BTS’s Kim Taehyung, known as V, took a moment to personally connect with his fans. Following his appearance at the star-studded Vogue World: Hollywood 2025 event in Los Angeles, the global idol was seen greeting waiting fans, a simple act that has since captured the hearts of many.
A Night of Fashion and Film
The Vogue World: Hollywood event was held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, celebrating the deep connection between fashion and film. The evening featured numerous celebrity appearances, including Nicole Kidman, Teyana Taylor, and Jeff Goldblum. V, who has recently completed his military service in South Korea and reunited with his BTS bandmates, was a featured guest at the event. For the occasion, he wore a long gray overcoat with a red woven belt that was accented with traditional Korean good luck charms called norigae. His tailored yet relaxed gray suit, matching tie, and light gray shirt created a look that was both stylish and sophisticated.
The event also served as a platform for V’s expanding work in fashion. Just days before, Vogue Japan released a special digital cover featuring the singer, where he channeled the spirit of Hollywood rebel James Dean. In an evocative, vintage-style video, V was styled in a brown leather CELINE jacket and denim, captured in classic cinematic scenes including sitting atop a motorcycle. Vogue Japan noted his “one-of-a-kind deep voice, rich expressiveness, delicate facial expressions, and an unmistakable presence.”
A Reputation for Kindness
This is not the first time V’s considerate nature has been highlighted at a major international event. Earlier in October, at the Celine show during Paris Fashion Week 2025, a brief interaction with actress Uma Thurman went viral. As cameras flashed before the show, V was seen gently helping the actress fix her hair after it was tousled by a breeze. The moment spread quickly across social media, with fans and media praising his grace and gentlemanly charm. One social media user commented, “Everyone he meets just falls for his charm; he is such a chivalrous and gallant man.”
His kind demeanor extends to his interactions with his own fans, ARMY. In late September, V shared a message on the fan platform Weverse expressing his gratitude for fans who respected his privacy during his personal time. He mentioned encountering fans while he was out on workout runs and noted that they were all “so gentle, didn’t even make a conversation, were considerate.” He wrote that he loved how they simply did the BTS greeting gesture and gave him space, which made him feel comfortable enough to keep visiting that mountain often for runs.
A Lasting Impression
V’s ability to make genuine connections, whether with fellow celebrities or fans, continues to be a defining trait of his global stardom. His gesture of greeting fans with flowers after a high-profile fashion event is a simple yet powerful reminder of the mutual respect and affection he shares with his supporters. As he continues to navigate his roles as a musician, a fashion icon, and a public figure, these moments of kindness consistently reinforce the admiration people have for him, proving that his influence extends far beyond the stage or the runway.
