BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) has become such a global sensation that he’s overshadowed the actual letter “V” on Google searches! Fans and non-fans alike are noticing how the K-pop star’s fame dominates even the alphabet.

On January 16th, a BTS fan shared a funny story online. The fan’s younger sister, a teacher at a special education school, noticed something surprising during class.

One of her students was working on a slideshow featuring images of each alphabet letter. But when the student searched for the letter "V", instead of seeing the usual alphabet visuals, the results were flooded with photos of BTS’s V!

The student, who wasn’t even a K-pop fan, was both amused and confused. The teacher shared the funny incident with her sibling, who posted it online.

Fans quickly confirmed the claim—searching “V” on Google Images indeed brings up a flood of photos of Kim Taehyung, leaving traditional “V” images nowhere to be found.

This unique phenomenon shows just how powerful V’s influence is. According to Google Trends, V has been the most-searched BTS member since their debut in 2013, with peak search volumes recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Even during his break for military service, he maintained his spot as the most-searched Asian star. His impact is especially strong in Asia, where his popularity is unmatched.

V’s dominance isn’t limited to Google. He’s also a top-ranking star on platforms like Instagram and Wikipedia, proving that his global superstar status goes beyond music.

Outshining celebrities from all fields, including sports and Hollywood, V has truly solidified himself as Asia’s most prominent and influential icon.

It’s safe to say, BTS’s V isn’t just a name—it’s a brand, a phenomenon, and now, a replacement for the letter “V” on the internet! Fans are loving the moment, and many agree: "Kim Taehyung doesn’t follow trends; he is the trend!"

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
