BTS’ V Shares What He’s Learned in 2026 and What He’s Keeping Secret

BTS member V said performing with all seven members was among his most important moments of 2026, reflecting on the group’s return to touring in a video for his Harper’s Bazaar Korea cover story.

“The moment we seven members are performing happily is arguably the most important moment of the year,” he said in the video, posted Thursday (Nov. 12), according to its English-language captions.

BTS launched its ARIRANG World Tour in April in support of ARIRANG, which spent three weeks atop the Billboard 200. It was the K-pop septet’s first tour after years apart fulfilling military obligations and working on solo projects.

V also discussed adjusting to time abroad. “I spent a lot of time abroad this year thinking about how to spend time well overseas and how to enjoy my leisure time besides performing,” he said. “I picked up a hobby of going on food tours with the members. It was quite rewarding.”

He said he had learned something about himself: “When I get interested in something, I seem to try to dig into it much deeper than I thought.” Asked about his latest interest, he said, “That’s a secret.”

Harper’s Bazaar Korea began sharing its content with V earlier in the week, including multiple versions of the issue’s cover. As previously revealed, V also told the magazine that he enjoys secretly reading ARMY’s conversations online, though he feels jealous that he cannot join in without causing a disruption.
