Ilsan Park holds personal meaning for the artist. In 2016, the 29-year-old had once mentioned that he wished to purchase a home near the park for his family, which prompted the choice of venue by fans.

The organizing group mentioned in their message that the fountain show aims to celebrate both V's return and BTS’s anniversary. The tribute is open to all visitors and is supported by the fan collective V INSIDE.
