BTS’s V, aka Kim Taehyung, welcomed 2026 with words of appreciation and a lighthearted video.
On January 1 KST, Taehyung shared on his Instagram story a message thanking fans for their support in 2025 and expressing his excitement for the year ahead. He wrote:
“To everyone who loves me thank you for all you’ve carried and endured this past year. In the year ahead let’s take the time to create moments that truly matter, memories we’ll hold close! 🖤 I love you all Happy New Year!🎉 @army”
In addition, Taehyung shared a humorous AI edit that has quickly gone viral on Instagram, featuring the BTS members reimagined as rugged, masculine figures complete with facial and chest hair, sparking laughter among fans.
Over the years, Taehyung has shown an interest in growing out his facial hair, often sharing photos of his stubble with fans. Whatever he chooses—be it a full beard, stubble, or clean-shaven—it’s clear he looks great either way.
The other day, on his 30th birthday, Taehyung shared photos with the BTS members, with the message: “I was really happy because the members and friends took such great care of me. Let’s spend the next year together with ARMY.”
