BTS’ V seems to be cognizant of the fact that a meme featuring him and IU, the singer, has recently gone viral due to their music video. While tagging IU in a series of behind-the-scenes photographs from the making of the music video “Love Wins All” on January 28, Taehyung captioned the post, “Taejun, Jihye, be happy.”

The photographs feature IU and Taehyung, who are seen posing in an old wedding gown and suit from the music video. Makeup that accurately portrays bruises and wounds gives both of them a disheveled look.
Despite their disheveled appearance, IU and Taehyung seem like a loving pair with warm grins and tender looks.
‘Taejun’ and ‘Jihye’ are the names that K-netizens use to describe Taehyung and IU’s roles in the music video, which has gone viral on Pann, theQoo, Naver, and Instiz.
About Taehyung and IU’s caption on IG:

A stunned internet user started it all by writing, “Now, when I see IU and V together, they don’t look like themselves.” This was in response to the music video. The two of them resemble Taejun and Jihye from the music video. The names were completely up to me.
It seems that Taehyung and IU were also made aware of the rapid online proliferation of their names as a meme. Several unreleased photographs of Taehyung on the film set were posted in a second post by him with the phrase, “Love wins all.”
Do you know that the two main characters in the MV ‘Love wins all’ got names? K netizens are still too immersed in the MV that even a post about those names is trending now.
“Taejun (Taehyung) & Jihye (Ji-eun)!!!”
To me, the names seem to be the names of the main characters
