Paris: In a heart-touching moment that’s taken the internet by storm, BTS star Kim Taehyung, popularly known as V, left fans swooning with his kind gesture toward an Indian ARMY during his appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
V, who attended the event as a brand ambassador for Celine alongside South Korean stars Park Bo Gum and Bae Suzy, was briefly seen interacting with fans gathered outside his hotel and one particular interaction stood out.
An Indian fan, hoping for an autograph, brought along a notebook that featured a hand-drawn sketch of V. As the BTS member passed by, he noticed the diary and, thinking it was a gift, graciously took it with him. However, when one of the staff informed him that the notebook was intended for an autograph and not a present, he returned it. Though the autograph didn’t happen, the moment quickly went viral as fans cherished the fact that V had touched and acknowledged the sketch.
The lucky fan took to Instagram to share her overwhelming experience, writing, “GUYS, I’M FLOATING!!! I saw V today – YES, KIM TAEHYUNG, Mr. King himself – AGAIN!! But this time something MAGICAL happened. I SKETCHED HIM… I waited, heart racing, hands shaking. AND THEN – he saw my sketch. AND GUESS WHAT?! He thought it was a gift for him – so he took my diary!!!” She went on to say that even though she didn’t get the autograph, the fact that V took the book, even briefly, made her feel truly seen and appreciated. “My heart is SO full. HE TOOK IT. HE. TOOK. MY. SKETCH,” she added.
The emotional post quickly made rounds online, with ARMYs praising V’s warmth and down-to-earth nature. Fans flooded social media with love and admiration for the star, with many commenting that such a gesture, even in passing, would be treasured for a lifetime. “At least he touched it,” one user wrote, while another said, “She’ll never let go of that book now!”
This isn’t the first time V has shown love for fan art. In a previous incident, he was seen admiring a fan’s sketchbook and waving affectionately.
