\n\tOne of BTS<\/a>\u2018 members is putting the \u201cV\u201d in Vogue Japan<\/a>. As revealed a couple of days before Christmas, V<\/a> is the publication\u2019s latest cover star, representing \u201cThe New Standard of Cool\u201d as the world heads into 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe issue finds V discussing his friendship with bandmates RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin and Jung Kook, as well as sharing his thoughts on his own character. Demonstrating his love for his \u201cbeloved members,\u201d V said that he thinks \u201canywhere would be fun\u201d as long as he\u2019s with his crew.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d probably say, \u2018I want to come back here again,\u2019 no matter where we go,\u201d he told the Japanese publication, according to Google\u2019s English translation. \u201cExcept for going to the company for work, of course [laughs].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for his sense of self, V acknowledged, \u201cI can\u2019t say yet that I\u2019m a strong person.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHowever, I want to be a strong person who will never falter, in order to live up to the expectations of the people I love,\u201d the South Korean performer added. \u201cBut I do feel that I am a healthy person, both mentally and physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe introspective interview comes at an exciting time for V, who was discharged<\/a> from the South Korean military in June. In spring 2026, he\u2019s set to make a comeback with the rest of his bandmates, who have a new album and world tour in store for ARMY after last releasing a full-length \u2014 Billboard 200<\/a>-topper Be \u2014 in 2020.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring BTS\u2019 time apart, V released a number of solo projects. Last year, he dropped a modernized version of \u201cWhite Christmas,\u201d adding his voice to the late Bing Crosby\u2019s. Shortly afterward, he shared a collaboration with Park Hyo Shin called \u201cWinter Ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tV\u2019s EP Layover dropped in 2023 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
