V of BTS captivated fans with his enigmatic aura in a newly released video from his first magazine cover shoot since being discharged from the military.
On August 5th KST, W Korea announced that V will be gracing the cover of its September issue. The magazine posted a teaser video on its official social media accounts, writing, “Charming mismatched eyes, a beauty mark above his lips, a languid voice. A visual presence that commands the scene the moment he appears. Who is this mysterious figure? The cover star will be revealed tomorrow.”
The video has received an explosive response, garnering 15 million views within just 17 hours of its release.
While attending the Celine fashion show in Paris this past July, V managed to squeeze in a photoshoot amidst his packed schedule. He wore pieces from Celine’s Spring 2026 collection, the debut line by the brand’s new designer, Hedi Slimane’s successor, Michael Rider.
The ultra-close-up footage highlights V’s strikingly symmetrical features, drawing attention to his surreal visuals. His gaze—shifting slightly with each angle—creates countless narratives, showcasing why he is often dubbed a “master of pictorial storytelling.”
His long, slender fingers were accentuated with glamorous nail art, while a scratch through his eyebrow added a bold edge. Masculine contours like his sharp features blended seamlessly with softer elements such as a rounded nose tip, plump lips, and a small jawline, resulting in a unique androgynous appeal. The video reached 15 million views in just 17 hours, reflecting the intense buzz it created.
Back on July 3rd, while in Paris for the Celine show, V shared an Instagram Story with the captions “I take care of myself now” and “Just watch”, accompanied by a self-care photo. Known for his naturally stunning looks, V continues to outdo himself by maintaining an intense grooming routine that further enhances his visuals.
