In the global entertainment scene, Chase Hudson (also known by his stage name Lil Huddy) is one of the standout Gen Z figures who has successfully transitioned from a TikToker to a recording artist. With his distinctive persona, pop-punk-inspired aesthetic, and a large fanbase, he continues to establish his place among young artists in the United States. Songs like 21st Century Vampire, The Eulogy of You and Me, and αмєяι¢α’s Sweetheart have been particularly well received.

Beyond music, Chase Hudson frequently appears at major Hollywood events. Most recently, he attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation 2026 Oscars Viewing Party—one of the most prestigious post-Oscars gatherings, bringing together top stars from around the world.

At the event, Chase Hudson joined several other celebrities in a quick interview conducted by People under the theme: “Who’s the 2027 Sexiest Man Alive?”

The “Sexiest Man Alive” title is one of People’s most iconic annual distinctions, launched in 1985. Each year, the magazine selects a man considered the “most attractive in the world” based on various factors such as appearance, charisma, influence, and public image. Over the decades, the title has been awarded to male icons including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Chris Hemsworth, Michael B. Jordan, and Paul Rudd.

Although the official selection for 2027 has yet to take place, the spontaneous answers from celebrities at the event quickly drew attention. Sophia Bush jokingly responded, “Obviously Connor Storrie,” while Patricia Arquette chose Jeremy Irons. Meanwhile, Amaya Espinal even made the au∂ιєnce laugh by picking SpongeBob SquarePants.

However, the answer that truly set social media on fire came from Chase Hudson. Without hesitation, the singer named V—a member of BTS—as the “Sexiest Man Alive 2027.”

This choice immediately sent the ARMY community into a frenzy. Many fans expressed complete agreement with Chase, arguing that V fully embo∂ιєs the criteria valued by People Magazine: striking visuals, undeniable charisma, global popularity, significant influence across both music and fashion, and a highly successful career. Notably, V has also been repeatedly ranked among the most handsome men in the world by TC Candler.

Beyond his appearance, V’s appeal also lies in his unique artistic identity. He consistently showcases refined musical taste, a deep pαѕѕion for the arts, and a thoughtful perspective on life—qualities that give his image both distinction and depth.

On the other hand, many fans pointed out that Chase Hudson’s choice was far from random. The singer has openly expressed his admiration for BTS multiple times and is widely considered a “celebrity ARMY.” In a conversation on The Zach Sang Show, Chase candidly shared that he is a big fan of BTS. He also revealed that he attended BTS’s concert at the Rose Bowl in 2019, describing it as an experience “like nothing else” in his life.

Moreover, by choosing V in the People Magazine interview, fans are even more convinced that V is Chase Hudson’s bias in BTS. Another interesting detail often brought up is that Chase once owned a Pomeranian that closely resembled Yeontan—V’s beloved late pet dog. In the past, he said it was hard to pick a favorite because he liked all the members, but it now seems that over time, his preference has become clearer.

Combining these details, fans took to social media to express their excitement, saying:

- Correct answer. Taehyung is the ѕєχiest man alive. Say it louder, Chase

- Lol, a true fanboy of Taehyung. Chase knows what’s good

- He even said recently that his bias is Taehyung, so I’m not surprised

- The way Chase Hudson immediately said Taehyung without hesitation… yeah that’s a man with TASTE.

- Chase said what we’ve all been thinking. Kim Taehyung = definition of ѕєχy

- Chase Hudson gets it. Taehyung as Sexiest Man Alive? That’s just facts

- The way everyone just agrees… Taehyung really IS the standard

- Taehyung isn’t just ‘ѕєχy’ in the typical way, it’s his vibe, his artistry, his deep voice, his whole presence. Chase really understood the αѕѕignment

- Taehyung being called the ѕєχiest man alive is probably the least controversial take ever. Chase has a good taste

- When a fine man like Chase Hudson calls Taehyung the ѕєχiest man alive, you just know it’s real—handsome men recognize handsome men

- Not Chase confirming what the entire world already knows. Kim Taehyung is literally on another level when it comes to visuals, aura, and charisma
