BTS V

In the most recent W Korea video, released today, August 11, 2025, BTS's V, or Kim Taehyung, unpacks the contents of his personal backpack in Paris for the first time since his debut. From tiny toys to ancient film cameras, notebooks full of song lyrics, his favourite perfume, and valuable objects provided by BTS members, everything is portrayed honestly and with emotional depth. Taehyung also discusses a heartbreaking occasion when he cried during J-Hope's solo concert, his hidden daily habits, and hints that inspire ARMY's suspicions regarding his latest music endeavour.

While talking about what he had in his backpack, he shared, "This bag is called the 'Celine New Luggage Bag'. It's the new main bag introduced by Michael Ryder for the first time. I call it the Smile Bag. It has such a cheerful look to it. I think it's really cute. I'm wearing this bag. Smile! And as for the keyring, I got one from Celine Korea last time."

V then details about keyrings and scarves, "I don't attach keyrings to my bags. I've attached things like car keys before. It was so pretty that I just had to get it. I just wanted to take it. I said, "Can I have this?" and they gave it to me. And this is because I really love scarves. I started wearing scarves on my first day in Paris. I was so excited."

He further added, "I started using scarves like this from then on. So I'm still doing it this way. I actually use them a lot on bags, too. And I tie them around my waist a lot. Then I also wear them around my neck. You can even use them as headscarves. Honestly, there are so many ways to use them. Of course, there are people who know even more ways than I do. There are many people who know a lot more about it. I learn by watching them too. I think, "I should try that too!"! I guess I'm the type to give things a try."

As V started up with what he carries, the first thing was, "First up is a headset. I use it when I'm working out or just when I want to listen to music. I have a Bluetooth speaker in the car, but there are no speakers when you're walking outside, right? So I often wear the headset when I'm out and about. I listen to music on the plane with it. And I often wear it when I'm sleeping. I recommend "The Dress" by Dijon. On a plane? I recommend "Airplane" by Turtles. A song for extra luggage? This one's a bit, I recommend "Hello Operator" When you wake up in the morning? Among the songs I listen to in the morning recently, I was with actor Park Hyung-sik, he even performed it live for me. I recommend "LADY" by Kenshi Yonezu. When you miss BTS, I hope you listen to BTS songs."

V shares about his intense workout and meds he keeps handy

V also has a few exercise equipment handy. He said, "Next up is a strap. Company V, just like my initial. I realised I shouldn't exercise at home. After feeling it in my bones! I should go to the gym or exercise outside. That's where you can really get a proper workout. After realising that, I've bought some things to make my workouts a bit safer. As for me, I used to do a three-part routine, but then, I've switched to a two-part routine now. During my military service, I worked out every single day of the week without a break. I hardly ever skipped a day and kept working out. If I really missed a session, I used to work out about six days a week, but after being discharged, I don't have much time, so even if it's just when I have time, I want to stay healthy. I'm trying to keep exercising regularly. As for me, the personal trainers who help me are such huge people. Since I get pretty intense training from them, considering my body weight, the weight I can lift, I think I'm pretty strong."

V also has his meds in his bag, especially for digestion and insomnia. He said, "Next up is something edible. It's melatonin and digestive aids. I eat quickly, I do. Eating too quickly has become a habit I often get indigestion. Digestive aids, I seem to take this whenever I get indigestion. And during my military service, when all the lights went out at 10:00 p.m. I slept well. After being discharged and given more freedom, I go to bed late now. To prevent that, I take melatonin. If I were to re-enlist, if they told me to sleep at 10:00 p.m. again, I think I'd sleep well. But seeing how I can't sleep like this in civilian life. I don't seem to be sleeping. I try to close my eyes and think of nothing. But really, no thoughts. All sorts of thoughts just pop up."

His favourite perfume and reaction to gang's solo concerts

Here's why he doesn't use perfumes: "Honestly, I don't use perfume often. I brought this because we're filming. I use this a lot. Since middle school, I've been applying body lotion every day without missing a day. The scent mixes with my body lotion. So I don't really like perfume. I like aromatic scents."

Kim Taehyung also reacted to his band's solo concerts, "First of all, the concert styles of the two members were sBTS' V shoots a fun 'what's in my bag', reveals why he doesn't use perfumes and carries melatonino different. I think they were really fun. I remember Jin's "Rope it" performance. Actually, I shed a few tears during Hobi's performance. I quietly shed a tear by myself. During the duet with Jungkook, I got choked up. I was too embarrassed to say anything. I watched the performance confidently. There's really not much."
