BTS’s V has once again appeared in an unexpected place, this time in a university classroom in the United States.
A fan recently shared a photo on social media after a friend spotted V in a lecture presentation. According to the post, the friend does not normally listen to K-pop but immediately recognized the BTS member.
The classroom slide was reportedly used during an exercise physiology class discussing body image and beauty standards.
The presentation included an image titled *“The most handsome men in the world in 2023”* and featured V alongside actors Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland.
The friend who sent the photo jokingly reacted, *“Is that V stepped into the crowd?”* referencing a viral phrase used online when V unexpectedly appears in places outside typical K-pop spaces.
This is not the first time V has been included in university teaching materials in the United States.
He has previously appeared in college presentations related to culture, fashion, and nonverbal communication, where his appearance was reportedly used as an example in discussions about visual image and beauty.
The latest classroom appearance has attracted attention from fans because it shows V being referenced beyond music and entertainment, including in academic discussions about appearance and cultural standards.
V has also maintained strong global search interest over the years, helping him remain one of the most recognizable K-pop stars internationally.
