The New Issue

Apart from Harper’s Bazaar Korea, Kim Taehyung has now graced the covers of the leading fashion magazines in Korea, including Vogue Korea, Elle Korea, and W Korea.  Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s February edition is undoubtedly a treat for the eyes. It features Kim in his hottest look yet. The cover is a part of a special ‘Blue Dragon year February issue.’

Bathed in Celine luxury, BTS’ V opens the magazine’s new issue. Next, he layers on the allure going shirtless and decked up in glittering jewels. The final scene showcases Kim on a throne, excluding a mysterious aura in a sapphire-themed setting.

This special feature will give a peek into V’s diverse personality, going beyond music and fashion to offer a glimpse into his world. The magazine captioned their post as “SEA YOU AGAIN. The sea and the ever more brilliantly shining cover of Korea’s February issue is BTS’s V (V) . Meet the beautiful Taehyung Kim with an unrivaled presence in front of the camera before enlisting.”

The ARMY Assembles

The Winter Bear singer who is currently enrolled in the mandatory military service of South Korea, sent the whole fandom into a frenzy. A fan wrote, “This particular look by Kim Taehyung has such anime character vibes” Another highlighted that, “Kim Taehyung currently occupies 4 spots of the Top 10 Worldwide trends.” A third drooled over the cover saying, “FATHER IS FATHERING😭😭😭😭😭“

V’s fans thronged the comments section of the magazine’s posts. A user exclaimed, “HE’S A LIVING ART KIM TAEHYUNG BELONGS IN MUSEUM 🧎🏻‍♀️” Another user was in awe of his piercing gaze, “He has the most strongest gaze🔥 like it makes him even more hot😭” A third pointed out how Kim himself probably did not see his shirtless look coming. He wrote, “Taehyung: Chapter 2 isn’t about shirtless . Meanwhile 😮“

The Covers Sold Out!

After placing an order at Kyobo bookshop for the edition, a member of the K-army was informed that the business had received more orders than it could fill. The magazine’s primary publishers are also reportedly overwhelmed by the volume of orders, as per the update posted by @taeguide:

The BTS ARMY lauded Taehyung’s global influence, hailing the Love Me Again singer-songwriter as a “brand himself.” Another fan wrote, “The “V EFFECT” strikes again 🔥🔥🔥” One was sad, “they’re out of stock already?? but we just started 😭” while another saw it coming and wrote, “This is silly they should’ve known this would’ve happened“

What Has Kim Been Upto Recently?

BTS’ V, the fourth member to enlist in the military with RM, marked his solo era with the release of the full-fledged album Layover. Showcasing V’s soulful vocals, the album delves into a more mature, R&B-influenced sound compared to his previous solo endeavours. Layover exudes a laid-back, nostalgic vibe, featuring smooth melodies and introspective lyrics.

He recently gave his fans a quick tour of his luxurious home in Seoul. Another clip doing the rounds on the internet that has the ARMYs drooling is BTS’ V and Jungkook being captured on camera in a moment of vulnerability. With their shirtless figures on full display, the scene was set against the backdrop of the BTS tour. It showcased their impeccable physiques which of course, had the loyal fans weak in the knees.

With BTS continuing to make history in the global music scene, V’s individual achievements and allure shine brighter than ever. ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Korea’s decision to feature him on their coveted February cover is a testament to his widespread appeal and influence in both the music and fashion realms. As fans eagerly await the magazine’s release, it’s clear that V’s star power is on the rise, and he remains a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
