A heartwarming moment between BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) and an Indian fan in Paris has captured the attention of fans worldwide. While greeting ARMY members outside his hotel during Paris Fashion Week, V accepted a hand-drawn portrait from an Indian fan, creating a viral moment that left her “floating.”
The fan, who shared the emotional encounter on Instagram (@madhavi.01__), revealed that she had prepared a sketch of V in hopes of getting it autographed. Instead, V believed the drawing was a gift and took the sketchbook with him, a gesture that left the fan overjoyed.
“HE TOOK IT. Like it meant something. Like it was special. Like I was seen,” the fan wrote.
“I’m not even sad about the autograph. My heart is SO full.”
Though his manager stopped him from signing the sketchbook, the fan said the moment felt “magical” and deeply meaningful.
V is currently attending Paris Fashion Week, where he was seen with fellow Korean celebrities Park Bogum and Bae Suzy, as well as Vogue US Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. He is also set to join BTS members — SUGA, RM, Jimin, Jungkook, and J-Hope — on stage during Jin’s upcoming solo tour. The group is reportedly working on a new album as well.
The fan interaction has gone viral across social media, with global ARMY praising the kindness of V and celebrating the emotional moment shared with one of their own.
