BTS member V praises fans for respecting his privacy in public

During a Weverse livestream on August 7, 2026, BTS vocalist Kim Taehyung (stage name V) thanked fans for giving him and his bandmates space during unexpected public encounters. He said that roughly 90 out of 100 fans deliberately avoid approaching or even pretend not to notice them, sometimes looking away, which allows the group to enjoy ordinary moments while traveling.

The comments were widely shared on social media, with supporters highlighting the importance of balancing admiration with respect for artists' private lives.
