On September 10, 2025, BTS’s Taehyung sparked online buzz after a Weverse live where he discussed track matchups that quickly prompted reactions from fans. When asked to choose between several of the group’s songs, his answers ignited conversations across various platforms. In the first round, Move was matched against Butter. V responded immediately,

“Personally, I don’t like Butter, so Move!”

The remark spread quickly because Butter is one of BTS’s most well-known singles worldwide. The next comparison was between Mic Drop and Save Me. He admitted it was difficult, asked viewers for opinions, and ultimately chose Save Me.

For Like and I Need U, he noted both mattered to him but chose I Need U, a nod to BTS’s early breakout era. The final decision was between Permission to Dance and Magic Shop. His pick was PTD.

That's not all. He also selected Savage Love over One Day, Not Today over 2nd Grade, and Dope over Home. Following the stream, his responses went viral on X as others echoed the sentiment, with many jokingly asking him not to pick the setlist for the next BTS tour.

BTS' Taehyung reprises iconic 2016 Save Me routine

In the same broadcast, BTS's Taehyung revisited Save Me, the 2016 track from The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever. While seated, he mimicked parts of the routine. Clips from the live quickly circulated online, with many noting his precise timing and gestures despite the long time since the song’s stage performance.

His outfit became another topic of conversation. Taehyung wore a patterned brown-gray long-sleeve shirt by Alfred Dunner, a piece associated with him since 2017. This same shirt was remembered from 2019 when he and Jimin crashed Namjoon’s livestream, turning it into a nostalgic throwback for fans.

Before the livestream on September 9, the Winter Bear singer took fan requests and also promised to watch a film recommended by viewers on Weverse. Regular Weverse sessions, whether through live chats or quick replies, remain V's way of staying connected.


Previously, Taehyung returned to Weverse on September 6 for a musical livestream, following a surprise audio-only broadcast under two minutes the day before. The Saturday session also marked his late Pomeranian Yeontan's birthday, who passed away in late 2024.

V had introduced Yeontan in 2017, sharing many moments online, and the dog even appeared in his solo album posters and merchandise.
