BTS’ Taehyung is set to throw the ceremonial pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers game on August 25, 2025, and his fans are going all out with large-scale tributes. Hours before the match, a huge aerial banner by China V Bar will circle above Dodger Stadium, reading:

“One & only my superstar V ❤️ China V Bar."

The banner stretches 60 meters and will remain airborne for four hours, from 14:50 to 18:10 (PTD).

Along the route to the ballpark, ten separate billboards featuring different shots of Taehyung will greet arriving fans. Inside the venue, ribbon boards carrying messages dedicated to the K-pop idol will appear midgame. The campaign theme, “ALL EYES ON V,” comes from his Korean fanbases V INSIDE and KTH Supporters Korea, along with global collective V Union.

A fan meet-up, planned by V Promo, is also planned just minutes away at Jumson Korean Restaurant. The pre-game hangout will run from 2 pm until 9 pm, offering custom V × Dodgers items like hats, shirts, jerseys, and keychains. Fans without game tickets will be able to gather there to watch the event together.
