On July 1, 2025, BTS' Kim Taehyung returned to South Korea after a short work trip to Japan. He was seen at Incheon International Airport, and the media captured his arrival.
Fans quickly identified the fashion items he wore. His Celine medium-sized carrier bag with a Triomphe pom-pom sold out soon after photos were released. His Celine Knot earrings also went out of stock within hours.
V was dressed in wide-legged, double-creased pants and had Beats Studio Pro wireless headphones with him. Clips and snapshots from the airport circulated widely across social platforms, especially on X, where users highlighted the quick sales linked to his outfit.
"Sold out king Kim Taehyung," an X user commented.
Fans expressed reactions to the sellout and his fashion influence, using phrases like “another level” to describe his impact. They also compared him to someone with the "Midas touch."
"Now they understand why brands are pulling strings just to get Tae’s endorsement. This guy here “yuribon” has a Midas touch, a fan remarked.
"Wow!! That's awesome! Kim Taehyung is another level," a user mentioned.

Is BTS' Taehyung preparing for a new project?
BTS’ Taehyung returned to Seoul via Gimpo Airport on July 1, 2025, after reportedly concluding a brief overseas schedule. He had quietly departed the country on June 29, shortly after attending the opening night of bandmate Jin’s solo concert, RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR.
During the show, the Winter Bear singer left the venue before it ended, sparking talk about an urgent commitment. At that moment, there was no advance notice from his management regarding any journey arrangements.
As fans had guessed about the unexpected visit, it was later verified that the artist had traveled to Japan for a brief promotional engagement. No further details were released about what the schedule included.
Since finishing his military service, BTS' V has gradually returned to a few public appearances. The trip came shortly after his June 20 Weverse livestream, where he casually mentioned he’d been busy with something new.
