V of BTS Likes to Pay Attention to ARMY’s Conversations — But Feels Jealous That He Can’t Participate

V said he enjoys reading conversations among BTS fans online and values their honesty and support. He cannot join in freely because his presence would draw attention and disrupt their exchanges, leaving him envious of the closeness he observes.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Korea, V described ARMY as an essential part of his life and said he hopes to remain attentive to everyday emotions and small joys. BTS is touring stadiums behind its album ARIRANG, which topped the Billboard 200 for three weeks; its label has indicated the tour may extend into mid-2027 and teased more group and solo music.
