The fact that V became a professional actor is not strange to fans. In particular, V's recent performance in IU's MV has made fans love him as an actor even more.
But among the au∂ιєnce's warm praise for his role, there are also many people who hope that V will have a "change" in his acting. This comes from the common point in all the roles he has played so far.
What makes the au∂ιєnce demand this "change" from V so much? All will be answered in the article below about fans' reactions to the Kpop superstar's acting:
Blessed with enviable visuals, V was often considered to be a good match for the acting industry since the early days of BTS. Fans got a good glance at his potential through the elaborate music videos, even a debut movie in 2016. Recently, when V returned to acting as the male lead in the new MV "Love Wins All" by IU, fans are even more excited.
While fans and netizens appreciated this project, they couldn't help but wish that V's next acting performance would be soмєтнing different for one simple reason. That is, his character will have a better ending instead of falling into tragedy like all his roles in the past.
This starts from his role in BTS's MVs, especially the HYYH era. Throughout the series of MVs, V’s character belongs to a broken family with an abusive father. He кιℓℓs his father in order to save his sister in the story and suffers a great ordeal. But the most tragic part about his character is that the storyline hints that he chooses to sacrifice his life for his friends.
And yet, when V's first official acting project was a 2016 K-Drama called Hwarang, his character Hansung also had a very tragic end. He played the role of Han Sung, a playful and innocent boy who loves to accompany the male lead, a legendary warrior named Moo Myung. Han Sung’s mischievous antics throughout the show are endearing enough for au∂ιєnces to grow a special fondness for him. However, it all comes crashing down in the end when he sacrifices his life to protect Moo Myung.
Finally, in IU’s music video, V plays the role of a character subjected to a similar tragic fate. While running away from an abstract power that is out for their lives, IU and V manage to catch a few moments of happiness. But in the end, the two are seemingly annihilated while dressed as bride and groom.
Despite V’s impressive performance in all the roles, ARMYs have had enough of the perpetual sad endings. After IU’s music video release, many posted their hilarious “demands” to “free” V from this tragedy on a loop:
