V continues to prove his status as one of K-pop’s most influential fashion icons by attending Vogue World 2025, held in Hollywood on the 26th (local time).

In an article covering his appearance, Vogue кσяєα described his look — modern yet reminiscent of the early 1900s — writing: “Along with his dignified presence, the coat collar curved like a hanbok and the belt adorned with traditional patterns stood out. The red knot, decorated with jade — a material once used only for a king’s belt during the Joseon era — exuded кσяєαn beauty.”

The most handsome man in the world dressed in a clαѕѕic ensemble inspired by кσяєαn culture, was seen seated prominently in the front row among Hollywood elites such as Dakota Johnson and Cynthia Erivo, further solidifying his standing in the fashion world.

While V drew global attention for his show-stopping appearance, a special ARMY also captured the fandom’s heart with her touching story and reunion with her idol at Vogue World 2025.

An Instagram user named @miganele — a costume designer for the brand Elena — shared a selfie with V along with a heartfelt caption reflecting on her journey as a BTS fan for over a decade.

Her post struck a chord with fans as she revealed she was one of BTS’s earliest supporters back in 2013 — when, as she said, “that year was all about OO,” and no one at her school liked the group. She also shared photos from two BTS fansigns she attended during the Boy in Luv era in 2014, adding authenticity to her story.

What moved fans even more was her long-standing personal connection with V — dating back 11 years. She was the fan who first recommended the song “Someone Like You” to V when he once asked for a winter playlist suggestion. Later, he released a cover of the song and even mentioned her at least twice as the person who introduced him to the legendary track.

She also used to write letters to V on the BTS Daum Café fan page and received replies from him in those early years.

Recalling those memories and seeing V in person after 11 years, she wrote: “Tonight is definitely a night that 15-year-old Elena would never have dreamed of.” Her original post read in full:

After reading her story, fans were deeply touched by her decade-long journey as an ARMY. Judging from V’s expression in the video when he recognized this particular fan, he seemed to feel the same way.

What impressed people even more was how both V and this fan have grown in their respective careers. At 15, Elena was just a high school girl meeting rookie V at a fan event. More than a decade later, they reunited under remarkable circumstances — she as a respected designer invited by Vogue, and he as one of the world’s top K-pop superstars, personally invited by Anna Wintour herself.

They met again from a place of pride and accomplishment, yet their bond — the pure affection between an artist and his earliest fan — remained beautifully unchanged.

ARMYs around the world shared in the joy radiating from this iconic fan’s story. She has also inspired many others not to give up on their dreams — that one day, they too might stand beside their idol in such a meaningful way:

- Awww, how beautiful it is when ARMYs grow up alongside them, having been with them since their debut. And they met again when both of them are successful. 

- ppl say never meet your idols but taehyung is different! The way he is so kind, and attentive to fans, meeting taehyung would definitely be better than anything you imagined!

- A success story, but I always say it, the OGs deserve this kind of moments. They've been through so much. It makes me cry. Just wow

- Both the fan and the idol have become successful together. I’m sure Taehyung must have been really touched to meet a fan who’s supported him since his debut.
