MOST INFLUENTIAL V
#V #Taehyung
Vogue US named BTS’s Arirang as one of 'The Best Albums of 2026 So Far' 🏆
In the review, P. Claire Dodson highlighted V's vocal delivery on "Normal"
"(the way V sings, 'Got me feelin' things unusual' on the latter is a serious earworm)
Vocalist Taehyung serving pure talent as always 🔥
According to India Today, BTS didn't lose anything by skipping the Grammys, the Recording Academy lost one of the world's biggest artists. The article says the conversation has shifted from representation to whether the Grammys can still define global music.
How can some "fan" attack the person who gives their bias this huge smile? The reason he is so happy...
When you love someone, you want them to smile like this always.
And this goes for Tae's "fans" too.
Jungkook’s Arirang part is taking over social media right now
this is what a born superstar looks like. Long tours can lose momentum, but Jungkook keeps creating iconic moments one after another through his stage presence, talent, and charisma. He never stops keeping fans excited
When you have millions of people attending a concert from all over the globe singing the refrain of a Korean anthem in their native language as if it were their own patriotic anthem, you have to make some considerations. The way the patrons of the Western music industry view and manage the concept of "let's decide where to put this and that" which does not fall within the racist canon (...) It's no longer even scandalous, but simply ridiculous. A self-serving pantomime of die-hards, those who believe that by dividing they can continue to exercise power and control. It happens in every field, from politics to music. It's the trend. And it's clear that the CEO responded. BTS politely said they didn't want to be part of a categorization. The academy, however, responded not to their choice but rather to the awareness that their racist action was SEEN. BTS have been, as always throughout their career, clear and straightforward, for themselves and for their fans. They didn't wage a war, they chose their identity battle. But they didn't do it today and for the academy. They did it in 2013, choosing to give voice to topics that are uncomfortable for the current society, going beyond the norm, always. If they've earned what they have, they also have the power to piss off the CEO of the gramophone. And this doesn't happen because they do K-pop. This happens because they are artists in love with their work and defending their identity. And by the way, not as Asian artists...as artists who want their art to be respected, without conditions.
Another reminder of just how massive Kim Taehyung's global demand really is 🔥⚽👑
The scarf worn by Taehyung during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final reached US$16,000 at auction, matching the value of the official World Cup Final match ball
It may seem like a small detail, but that's exactly what makes it so remarkable: an item worn by Taehyung attracting a level of demand and value comparable to one of the most iconic pieces of the biggest sporting event in the world
Taehyung isn't just an artist who fills stadiums. His name carries enormous cultural and commercial value, turning even something as simple as a worn scarf into a highly sought-after item
That's the power of his brand, his influence, and his global demand🔥👑
It’s hilarious watching antis lose their minds just because Taehyung acts like the global icon he actually is. They’ve been crying for days simply because he has social skills and incredible networking. What did you expect? For him to hide in a corner, terrified of talking to people, acting completely clueless? Give me a break. The man has been at the top of this industry for 15 years. He knows the lay of the land
Seeing Taehyung interacting and being treated as an equal by the likes of Justin Bieber, David Beckham, and Tom Cruise isn't "throwing himself on celebrities" it’s being A CELEBRITY among celebrities. The international media constantly highlights him as the main event because he actually has star power and magnetism. He isn't afraid to socialize, he isn't afraid to connect with people in his own field, and he has genuine empathy for fellow artists
This ability to navigate the global mainstream with total ease is exactly one of the main reasons BTS has sustained this level of success and broken so many barriers for so long
Instead of criticizing his charisma and manners, you should be thanking him for carrying the status of a global icon with such class. Your pressed tweets are just proof that he is massive, and you hate seeing the top occupied by someone who actually knows how to shine. Deal with it
The fact that Taehyung posted this on his IG story makes my heart so full. He didn't just create an unforgettable memory for this child—you can tell this precious moment stayed with him too
According to Launchmetrics, Kim Taehyung (V) was the 4th most prominent voice driving the impact of Celine Men's Spring/Summer 2027, ranking behind only Gala and Celine's own official channels.
With just one Instagram post, Taehyung generated $1.3 million in Media Impact Value (MIV), making it the highest-performing single post related to the Celine Men's SS27 show.
His influence extended far beyond his own social media. Through extensive media coverage, third-party mentions, and the ripple effect generated by his appearance, Taehyung's total contribution reached an extraordinary $18.7 million in MIV, accounting for 56% of Celine's total Media Impact Value for the event.
Launchmetrics also reported that 79% of Celine's total MIV came from media coverage, underscoring the importance of media engagement. This demonstrates that as long as fans continue supporting and engaging with media coverage during every Paris Fashion Week, Taehyung's influence will remain a decisive force behind Celine's visibility — even if he publishes only a single post.
Despite posting only once, compared with others who shared 7, 19, or even 58 posts, Taehyung's unmatched impact helped propel Celine to 4th place among the Men's SS27 rankings. The front row itself became a reflection of the house's global reach, with BTS's V leading celebrity influence through an outstanding $18.7M in MIV.
CONGRATULATIONS TAEHYUNG
