I thought it was 2014... BTS’ V, timeless beauty

BTS V captivated fans around the world with his beauty that seems to defy time.

To mark BTS's 13th anniversary since debut, the group held the 'BTS World Tour Arirang in Busan' concert over two days, on June 12 and 13, at Busan Asiad Main Stadium. This Busan concert comes about 3 years and 8 months after the 'Yet to Come in Busan' concert in October 2022.

V appeared with a light brown hairstyle during the soundcheck stage on the 12th. Fans were astonished, saying they would have believed it if the photo had been taken in June 2016. The members reacted by saying, "He seems 10 years younger; he looks like during 'No More Dream' (2014)."

During the main performance, V interacted with fans and delivered a powerful stage performance. He received cheers for his intense stage presence and live vocals.

In his closing remarks at the concert on the 12th, V said, "I came after eating pig-gukbap this morning! After the show today, I will eat delicious Busan food again with the members." Before the concert, he posted a mukbang photo of pig-gukbap on Instagram and shouted "Busan yahoo~" using Rescene's "Geoje Yahoo" meme.

At the concert on the 13th, a fan handed him a Yeontan doll that she said took two months to make. After touching it, V returned it and expressed his thanks. Over the two-day concert period, V drew attention for topping Google search volume records, his new hairstyle, and his appearance on stage.
