In Brazil, Taehyung is regarded as a global pop icon. Renan Peixoto, a renowned Brazilian journalist and producer of Latin America’s largest broadcasting network, once stated, “V is an icon of Eastern culture who has presented a new direction by transcending the stereotype that handsome men should be Western and macho.”
