There’s a reason ARMY – one of the world’s largest fandoms – believes that the love they give BTS is always returned. On June 20, not long after waking up, the ever-charming Kim Taehyung, better known as V from BTS, surprised fans by going live on Weverse.
He casually told viewers he had just gotten out of bed and decided to start a live – a sweet gesture that instantly made ARMY feel like they were the first people on his mind. But what truly caught fans off guard was the display picture he chose: a mirror selfie in a sleeveless shirt, which immediately sent the fandom into a frenzy.
BTS’ V shows off bare-faced visuals
During the live, Taehyung appeared in a white-and-black tank top but quickly commented that he felt he was showing “too much skin.” He also mentioned that his room was messy, with clothes scattered around.

So what did V do? He paused the video screen continued to play music, took time to change into a t-shirt, and cleaned up his room – before returning to the live to chat more with ARMY.
