V of BTS Shares What He’s Learned in 2026 — and What He’s Keeping a ‘Secret’

V of BTS reflected on his year in a Harper’s Bazaar Korea video, saying that performing happily with all seven members was its most important moment. The group returned to touring after years apart for military service and solo projects, making their reunion a major part of his 2026.

V said he spent much of the year abroad and found a rewarding way to enjoy time off: going on food tours with his bandmates. He also discovered that he tends to investigate new interests more deeply than he expects, but kept his latest interest secret. BTS began its ARIRANG World Tour in April to support an album that spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
