On the 24th, V shared a post with fans featuring moments from his recent life. Opening the series was an eye-catching fall/winter outfit, featuring a bright orange sweatshirt paired with a beige cap and a blue tote bag casually slung over his shoulder. Standing in front of the camera with a calm expression and the short message “Happy Chuseok”, the idol sent his best wishes to ARMYs on the occasion of the Full Moon holiday.
What caught fans’ attention the most this time, though, was a photo of V posing with three other people who appeared to be very close to him.
Fans are already familiar with V’s famous friend group, Wooga Squad, but aside from them, not much is known about his other friendships. This was one of the rare occasions when V took the initiative to share a glimpse of his friendships, even going as far as introducing their personal Instagram accounts to ARMYs this time.
Curiosity quickly prompted ARMYs to dig deeper, and they were all surprised to discover that these faces were actually far from unfamiliar!
The man wearing the blue cap in the photo is Park Jong Ha, a renowned кσяєαn fashion photographer known for working on pictorials and magazine covers for major publications such as Vogue נαραи, Vogue кσяєα, W кσяєα, GQ кσяєα, Harper’s Bazaar кσяєα, Marie Claire кσяєα, and Elle.
Park Jong Ha has also collaborated with BTS numerous times, particularly with V. Most recently, he was behind V’s February 2026 Vogue נαραи pictorial, shot in Paris with a cinematic 1990s-inspired concept and Celine outfits. In an interview, V once praised the photographer as a “genius.”
Next, the short-haired woman standing in front of or beside Park Jong Ha is none other than his wife, An Sung Hee, a highly respected makeup artist and hairstylist who has worked directly with many A-list stars in the кσяєαn entertainment industry.
For V, she is certainly no stranger. She has appeared in several behind-the-scenes photos that V himself shared on Instagram over the years. More importantly, she has worked with the BTS star on several major projects, including his solo album, the art photography series for his solo exhibition “V 'TYPE 非',” a Billboard magazine photoshoot, as well as numerous fashion-related schedules.
As for the long-standing relationship between BTS and the couple, when Park Jong Ha and An Sung Hee got married in November 2024, j-hope attended the wedding to congratulate them on behalf of BTS, while V also sent a message on Instagram saying, “Congrats on your wedding lol.” Park Jong Ha and An Sung Hee are the co-founders of CO-OP.dot, an external production company behind numerous fashion pictorial, magazine, and advertising campaign projects. The company has also worked with BTS on multiple photoshoots over the years.
Finally, the other friend in the photo is Kim Ye Jin, a renowned кσяєαn stylist and fashion editor. She specializes in styling pictorials for GQ кσяєα, W кσяєα, Vogue נαραи, Vogue кσяєα, Elle, and many other major publications. With V, Kim Ye Jin is also a longtime collaborator who has worked on numerous notable projects, including GQ кσяєα’s February issue, W кσяєα, the “FRI(END)S” music video, Cartier pictorials, and Celine x Harper’s Bazaar кσяєα, among others.
Clearly, the faces standing alongside V are more than simply friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry. They are both close friends and talented collaborators — the people behind numerous attention-grabbing looks that have set trends and further strengthened Kim Taehyung’s reputation and personal brand.
Behind the glitz and glamour of a global superstar, having wonderful friends and collaborators by his side — people who understand him artistically while also sharing a genuine bond in life — may be what warms ARMYs’ hearts the most. Fans are simply happy to witness such a beautiful friendship between them.
