BTS V shares candid glimpses of daily life on Instagram

BTS member V shared photos of his reserve forces training and riding a city bus with family on the 12th, just before the group begins their 'ARIRANG' Southeast Asian tour in Kaohsiung on the 19th.

BTS member V has captured the attention of fans by revealing a humble side of his life that contrasts with his image as a global superstar. He shared photos of himself in military fatigues for reserve forces training, riding a city bus alongside family members presumed to be his parents, eating snack food, and relaxing with a facial mask pack applied. These candid moments offer a relatable glimpse into the life of a global star known for his overwhelming stage presence.

On the 12th, V posted several photos to his official Instagram with the short caption, "This is how I live." Without additional explanation, the images captured various aspects of his recent daily life, sharing natural, unstyled moments rather than curated or staged scenes to communicate with fans.

The photos of V in military uniform drew significant interest. A former "special warrior," he shared images of himself in fatigues for reserve forces training. Fans showed keen interest in his current status as he participates in training as a reservist following his military service. His appearance in military uniform, rather than stage costumes or high fashion, offered a different charm.

Photos appearing to show him with his family also drew attention. V shared images of himself riding a city bus alongside family members presumed to be his parents. The sight of a world-renowned star using public transportation to lead a normal life felt approachable to fans. Other photos of him eating snack food and spending time with a facial mask pack also conveyed an unadorned atmosphere. The post, which showed small moments of daily life without filter, reflected V's signature natural charm.

While enjoying this relaxed daily life, V will soon begin a global tour with the other members of BTS. Starting with a performance in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on the 19th, BTS will continue their Southeast Asian tour. They are scheduled to hold a total of 15 solo concerts for the world tour 'ARIRANG' across five cities, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Jakarta.

Previously, BTS successfully concluded a South American tour in São Paulo, Brazil, at the end of last October. Following their meetings with local fans during the South American performances, they are extending their stage to major Southeast Asian cities to maintain the momentum of their world tour. Anticipation is growing among fans waiting for the performances in each city.

Musical achievements also continue steadily. BTS is seeing long-term success with their fifth studio album 'ARIRANG,' released this past March. The album and its title track 'SWIM' proved their presence in the global music market by both reaching number one on the Billboard 200 main album chart and the Hot 100 main singles chart in the United States.

Despite a busy schedule meeting fans worldwide through the world tour, V enjoys ordinary daily life, including reserve forces training, outings with family, and simple meals. Through these photos, his contrasting charm—living as a global star on stage and a relatable young man in daily life—has been revealed once again.
