BTS V's Viral 'Gimbap' Moment Sparks Laughter and Fan Frenzy

BTS member V is currently the talk of the town following his charming and unique appearance at the recent Paradise Art Night event.

Attending the '2025 Paradise Art Night' on the 2nd, which marked the opening of Seoul Art Week, V mingled with a star-studded crowd including Blackpink's Lisa, renowned producer Tommy Brown, and Verdi.

One particular photo taken by V garnered immense attention. In the snapshot, V is seen staring expressionlessly at the camera with a bite of kimbap (seaweed rice roll) held in his mouth, creating a humorous and unexpected visual.

Fans quickly pointed out the uncanny resemblance of V's pose to a scene from the popular webtoon 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' where the character Lumi is depicted eating kimbap. This comparison elicited widespread laughter and delight among the fanbase, highlighting V's playful charm.

This event also served as a meaningful occasion for the BTS members as they resume their activities following their military service. RM also attended alongside V, drawing significant fan interest. The gathering was further enriched by the presence of Blackpink members (excluding Jennie), and prominent Korean actors such as Bae Doona, Jung Ryeo-won, and Oh Yoon-ah.

Hosted by Peggy Gou, the Paradise Art Night transcended a mere social gathering, becoming a valuable platform for K-pop artists and cultural figures from both domestic and international circles to connect and exchange ideas. V's kimbap photo perfectly encapsulated his innocent charm, presenting a relatable and unpretentious side that resonated deeply with his fans.

V, born Kim Tae-hyung, is renowned for his deep, soulful vocal tones and captivating stage presence. Beyond his musical endeavors, he has also showcased his acting talent in the K-drama 'Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.' He is also known for his strong friendships within the entertainment industry, often referred to as the 'Wooga Squad.'
