V of the boy group BTS showcased both overwhelming charisma onstage and an innocent, harmless boyish charm in everyday life.

On the 5th, V posted several selfies showing glimpses of his recent life on his personal social media account, along with the caption, "Quite peaceful, isn't it? You can cry your eyes out. Sob~"

The most eye-catching photo was a pass for the World Cup final halftime show bearing V's real name, 'Kim Tae-hyung,' clearly printed on it. A new ID photo of V, never previously revealed anywhere, stands out.

Despite the straightforward frontal angle and lack of retouching, V flaunted a razor-sharp jawline and perfectly balanced features that looked as though they had been sculpted by computer graphics, prompting admiration that he is 'a true face genius.'

V also proved the true worth of the 'master of the stage' with his onstage fashion, pairing a red jacket with a black sleeveless top, along with sweat-soaked, tousled blond hair, an intense gaze that overwhelmed the audience, and a sexy presence that conveyed the heat of the moment in its entirety.

V also created a sweet and cozy 'boyfriend photo.' In a high-angle selfie taken in what appeared to be a cozy hotel room, V looked down at the camera while wearing a lightweight knit top, offering a dangerously alluring contrast with his clear, makeup-free skin and large, wistful eyes.

BTS, the group to which V belongs, began the second North American leg of its 'BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG'' at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, United States, on the 1st and 2nd (local time).

The next concerts will be held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, United States, on the 5th and 6th. BTS became the first Korean act to hold a solo concert at Gillette Stadium.
