BTS’s V graces the cover of a special issue of fashion magazine ″SURE.″ ″SURE Magazine″ announced, ″We are delighted to announce that V, a global icon and brimming with charisma, graces the cover of our August special issue.″ The publication noted that V exerts significant influence not only in music but also in fashion. They explained that V embodies the ″Celine Man,″ possessing a deep understanding of the brand and sharing its philosophy.
V masterfully mastered a variety of concepts with a professional and passionate attitude. Set against the backdrop of the captivating city of Paris, the pictorial powerfully utilized light and shadow to capture V’s sensibility. Photographer Kim Hee-jun captured the subtle interplay between artist and fashion. Through the pictorial, V demonstrated his talent for accurately interpreting and conveying the message that the fashion house Celine seeks to convey.
In the pictorial, V evts a wide range of expressions, from chic and sexy to decadent and childlike innocence, reaching the pinnacle of the shoot. In a photo of him wearing a classic coat and shirt, against the backdrop of Paris’s historic buildings and the sky, he exudes a lonesome gaze. In another photo, V dons a red military jacket, using flowers as props to create a purer look, a departure from the typical minimalist and chic military style.
In another photo, he wears a sleeveless T-shirt with his arms wrapped around his shoulders, exuding a fiercely sensitive air, reminiscent of a vampire. Wearing Celine’s signature leather jacket, V clearly exudes a stylish edge. Unconstrained by genre, V demonstrates his free-spirited expressiveness and versatile style, proving himself to be ″Kim Taehyung’s genre.″
This pictorial was taken before V enlisted, and the contrast between his slim arms and shoulders and his current, more toned appearance is intriguing.
