Concurrently, V showcased his versatility as an all-arounder artist by remaining at the top of the Korean actor popularity ranking site Bihan’s ‘Korean Male Actors in their 20s’ category for 142 weeks in a row. This demonstrated his unique popularity as both a singer and an actor.

With more than 4.27 million total votes, V maintains his position as the top K-pop idol on ‘K-Pop Juice,’ a site that covers audition information and ranks them. Additionally, he has been crowned the most attractive male for 102 weeks running in the K-Board handsomeness poll, which encompasses all facets of K-culture.
V has been the subject of intense advertising operations in Japan, where he has become an instant hit. V wowed the Japanese people at the Celine renewal event, where she acts as an ambassador for the luxury brand. The Omotesando area of Tokyo, sometimes called the Champs-Elysées of Tokyo, saw its biggest throng ever assembled to see V.
With V on the cover, Harper’s Bazaar magazine sold like hotcakes, making it into six different top ten bestseller lists on major Japanese e-commerce platforms like Rakuten, Qoo10, and Amazon Japan.
The event advertising sector in Japan was taken aback and intrigued by the unique event that took place last year on V’s birthday (December 30th)—the first of its kind for a Korean artist. The movie celebrating V’s birthday was shown on seven enormous outdoor advertising screens mounted on three buildings in the busy Shibuya district of Tokyo.

The Japanese were also captivated by an advertising cruise that took place on Osaka’s Dotonbori River in honor of V’s birthday. All of them were unprecedented for a Korean celebrity in Japan and garnered a lot of attention from the country’s advertising outlets.
An additional edition of the prominent Japanese daily Asahi was published in honor of V’s birthday. The streets of Tokyo were filled with trucks that played V’s birthday party video all day and night, capturing the attention of passers-by.
V joined the military service in December. He has already completed his training and has gone for his SDT training. For more updates, you can join us on our Twitter account.
