More on BTS' Taehyung's W Korea’s September issue and artistic direction

The September edition coincides with the return of Frieze Seoul 2025. It is an international art fair celebrated for showcasing both established and emerging talent. W Korea’s Art+Asia special issue embraces this spirit and blends high fashion with cultural storytelling.

Throughout the cover feature, Taehyung appears in multiple pieces from CELINE’s Printemps Spring 2026 collection, reflecting his attendance at the brand’s Paris Fashion Week show earlier this year.

The wardrobe includes a leather-trimmed brown ensemble paired with a vintage scarf, a pastel knit set in pale pink and icy blue, and a CELINE T-shirt worn with aqua-toned hair and high-waisted trousers.

Each look is enhanced by deliberate details, such as gold and silver chain bracelets and the decision to retain his natural moles in certain close-up shots.

To further promote the issue, W Korea released a four-part behind-the-scenes video series filmed at an 18th-century castle overlooking the Seine. The footage captures candid moments, including Taehyung adjusting his appearance between shots and delivering composed, focused expressions during filming.

Currently, V is in Los Angeles alongside fellow BTS members. The members are preparing for the group's highly anticipated 2026 comeback.
