Kim Taehyung — known worldwide as BTS’s V — has once again proven that his star power stretches far beyond music. Featuring on six different covers of GQ Korea’s February issue, Taehyung delivers a fashion statement so bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged that it instantly took over social media. The shoot doesn’t just showcase clothes; it confirms V’s status as one of the most magnetic fashion figures of his generation.
Each cover presents a different facet of Taehyung’s visual identity. From stark minimalism to unapologetic sensuality, from soft vulnerability to commanding intensity, the editorial highlights his rare ability to transform while remaining unmistakably himself. It’s precisely this chameleon-like quality that continues to attract luxury houses and top fashion editors across the globe.
One of the most talked-about images features V in a black high-neck turtleneck pulled up to his nose, revealing only his piercing gaze. The styling is intentionally restrained, directing full attention to expression and presence. Cartier jewellery — a bold gold necklace, diamond ring, and bracelet — subtly elevates the look without overwhelming it. The result is quiet authority, proving that restraint can be just as powerful as extravagance.
In contrast, another frame leans into high-fashion sensuality. Taehyung appears with a bare torso beneath a white fur coat trimmed in black, paired with tailored trousers and silver-diamond accessories. The image balances softness and dominance, vulnerability and confidence. Rather than feeling provocative for shock value, it radiates ease — an artist completely comfortable in his skin.
A black-and-white portrait introduces an industrial edge. Layered chains, stacked rings, and a zippered jacket create texture and weight, while Taehyung’s calm expression anchors the intensity. In another surreal frame, a sweeping fabric detail partially veils his face, evoking a noir-film mood and highlighting his talent for blending masculinity with fragility — a signature element of his appeal.
The moment that truly ignited fan frenzy, however, was his fiery red hair reveal. Captured in extreme close-up with a silver panther chain beneath his eyes, the look marks a dramatic new aesthetic era. Within minutes of release, the images went viral, with fans celebrating one of his boldest transformations yet.
Despite dramatic styling, grooming throughout remains soft and natural, allowing skin texture and structure to shine. This balance of daring fashion and understated beauty gives the editorial its power — not costume, but character.
Once again, V doesn’t just follow fashion. He defines it.
