Just days ahead of his 30th birthday, BTS’ Kim Taehyung, aka V, left fans pleasantly surprised with a fresh set of photos from a recent shoot. Taking to Instagram, the global pop
icon dropped a carousel that showcased his many moods, which shifted from mischief to melancholy and subtle teasing. The post instantly captured attention, particularly his shirtless photos, which sent his fans into a frenzy.
The BTS star became a muse for Vogue Japan. The post began with a set of monochrome photos that showed him in an all-white outfit. The temperature rose once his shirtless pictures on the carousel began. With what seemed like water on his face, V flaunted his chiselled body in nothing but a pair of trousers. He opted for two sleek neckpieces as accessories.
In another set of images, the BTS singer was seen wearing a blue shirt paired with a black blazer and beige trousers. As always, he looked handsome in all the photos. He ditched any written caption for the post and opted for a traffic signal emoji and tagged Celine, the brand that he is a global ambassador for.

Fans Go Gaga Over V’s Shirtless Pictures
As the K-pop idol turned off his comments section on the post, his fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their admiration for V. One fan wrote, “He doesn’t model clothes — he sets the temperature.”
“Taehyung’s visuals are truly on another level. He was born for Vogue Japan,“ another quipped.
“Face cards never decline,” someone else mentioned.
A different fan shared, “Kim Taehyung (V) was Sizzling hot in those photos.”
One individual commented, “V is looking like a living piece of art as always. Can we take a moment to appreciate how effortless he makes this look?”
What’s Next For V?
Since his discharge from the military, V has been busy fulfilling commitments to various brands, including Celine. He has also been seen at Paris Fashion Week, as well as gracing magazine covers. Besides his solo endeavours, the 29-year-old singer has also been busy working on the new album of BTS, which will mark the full-group return of the K-pop supergroup after a hiatus of four years. Their last release was the 2022 album, Proof. The group is said to be releasing their brand-new album sometime in the first half of 2026. Following the release, they will embark on their highly anticipated world tour.
