According to the UK Official Charts dated the 4th (local time), BTS once again proved their global influence as their fifth studio album ARIRANG and its title track “SWIM” ranked No. 4 on the Official Albums Chart and No. 5 on the Official Singles Chart, respectively. Not only the title track, but three other songs from the album also simultaneously entered the Top 100.

Notably, the group has maintained the No. 1 position on three of Spotify’s global charts for two consecutive weeks—Weekly Top Albums, Weekly Top Songs, and Weekly Top Artists—while also topping Australia’s ARIA Top 50 Albums chart for two weeks in a row.

During this period, the BTS members have been actively promoting their highly anticipated comeback album by appearing on variety shows, music programs, releasing behind-the-scenes content, and even dropping MV 2.0 versions. At the same time, they are busy rehearsing in preparation for the launch of their year-long ARIRANG world tour, set to begin on April 9 in South кσяєα.

Despite their hectic schedule, the BTS members are still making time to spend with family and friends while in кσяєα. On the 3rd, Jimin was spotted attending the opening performance of the musical Hague, starring his close friend Lee Sae-on. Then, on April 4, fans once again took notice as V appeared at Park Hyo Shin LIVE A & E 2026, the concert of his longtime close friend Park Hyo Shin.

Although he opted for a relatively simple casual style, the idol quickly became the center of attention thanks to his standout fashion sense. He wore a basic black jacket paired with a dark brown baseball cap, using leopard-print pants as the highlight, creating an outfit with a distinct personal flair. As soon as photos were shared, the item immediately became a hot topic among fans.

For those who have followed him for a long time, this choice was not surprising. Known for his unique fashion sense and willingness to experiment, V has worn leopard-print pieces on multiple occasions in the past. At the same time, many believe that only V can pull off such a bold and challenging pattern so effortlessly and stylishly.

Beyond fashion, V’s appearance also warmed fans’ hearts as it showcased his strong friendship with Park Hyo Shin. Despite being in the peak period of promotions and preparing for a major tour, V still took the time to support his close friend, demonstrating how much he values their relationship.

As photos and videos of V at Park Hyo Shin’s concert spread, a wave of fan comments quickly followed, including:

- Even in 144 p he's looking so hot with his leopard print pants. Oh my man

- Only V could wear leopard print and make it look THIS cool. Everything about this outfit just screams confidence and individuality

- Have fun the concert guys he's so supportive friend. I also love his style, he knows how to get attention

- I have such pants too with leopard print but his features are so so pretty

- That leopard print pants really said “main character energy”

- I can’t believe he wore leopard print pants to a concert and somehow made it look like high fashion instead of chaos

- The pants are loud, bold, and slightly unhinged… but why does it WORK so perfectly on him?

- This is exactly why his fashion always stands out in the best way - effortless, unique, and always so memorable

- Everyone else would look questionable in leopard print, but he turned it into a whole iconic moment
