V of BTS is not the type to brag. So when he was asked to name the most important moment of his year, his answer went straight to the group, not to himself.
What V called the year's biggest moment
The video for his Harper's Bazaar Korea cover story went up Thursday, Nov. 12. In it, V said the moment all seven members perform happily is arguably the year's most important moment. That is the whole answer in one line: seven guys on a stage, happy. If you have followed BTS at all, you know why that sentence carries weight. The video gives his own account of the group's return to touring after a stretch of military service and solo work, and he is telling it from the inside, not from a press release.
The tour behind the answer
BTS launched its ARIRANG World Tour in April, supporting the album ARIRANG, which topped the Billboard 200 for three weeks. V did not stop at the big moments. He said he picked up a hobby of going on food tours with the members. That is such a normal, human thing to do with your coworkers, and it made me smile. He also said his most recent interest is a secret, which is exactly the kind of tease that keeps fans guessing. And he told the publication he enjoys secretly reading ARMY's online conversations. Secretly reading, not posting. Relatable. I would probably do the same thing, honestly, and then get caught.
Why it matters for the audience
This is not a comeback announcement or a schedule drop. It is a guy with a record-setting album and a world tour behind him saying the best part was the seven of them being happy together. For fans, that is the kind of quote you screenshot and hold onto.
A reason to pay attention if you are a fan
So if your playlist has been heavy on BTS lately, or if you are the friend who keeps everyone updated on the group, what is the one moment from this year you would pick as your most important? That is what I keep asking myself.
What is the moment from your own year that you would name as the most important, the one you would pick before anything else?
