BTS's V Says Seeing Members Happy on Stage Is the Year's Most Important Moment
V of BTS says the moment the seven members are performing happily is arguably the most important moment of the year. He made the remark in a video shared with his cover shoot for Harper's Bazaar Korea, the Korean edition of the fashion magazine, Billboard reported on 12 November 2026.
The comments came as V looked back on a busy 2026. BTS launched its ARIRANG World Tour in April, in support of the album ARIRANG. The album went on to top the Billboard 200, the main US album chart, for three weeks.
Away from the stage, V said he spent a lot of time abroad this year thinking about how to spend his time well. He wanted to know how to enjoy leisure time apart from performing. One pastime he picked up is going on food tours with other members of the group, which he described as quite rewarding.
He also said he learned something about himself. When he gets interested in a subject, he tries to dig into it much deeper than he expected to. Asked what he had most recently become interested in, he kept it to himself. "That's a secret."
V also admitted to a small guilty pleasure. He enjoys reading the online conversations of ARMY, the name for BTS's fans, without anyone knowing. He added that he feels a little jealous, because he cannot join in without causing a disruption.
The interview offers a glimpse of the members' lives beyond tour dates and chart positions. For fans, it also shows that V still has a few things he is not ready to share.
