BTS's V has been hailed as the top male idol who can rock any fashion style, earning him a spot as a major fashion icon.

From August 12 to August 18, V topped a poll by Choe-ae-dol for "Which male idol can perfectly adapt to any style?"

His fashion game is strong, whether he's in casual wear, retro outfits, glamorous red carpet attire, or daring photo shoots. V’s ability to pull off any look makes him a true fashion star.

Even in everyday wear, V knows how to make simple pieces like a white T-shirt look effortlessly stylish and luxurious.

His appearance in traditional Korean hanbok has also been praised, likened to the 'Beauty Doll' of famed Korean artist Kim Tae Gi.

V is breaking fashion norms, with stylists from Elle and GQ calling him a leading figure in genderless fashion.

Fashion columnist Carolina Malis from New York shared, "V’s style blends chic and luxury with items that are often seen as 'feminine' or 'masculine,' but it never feels forced." She also said, "V sees everything as a style, making him a style unto himself."

On the red carpet, V is a standout. At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, he drew media attention with his confident and lively presence. American Vogue noted, "V is the most fashion-forward dresser, executing bold choices flawlessly."

V continued to shine at the 2022 Grammy Awards, where CNN and New York Magazine highlighted him as one of the standout stars.

J-14 magazine named V the only Asian in their "8 It Boys" of Gen Z. As a global ambassador for Celine and Cartier, V keeps boosting both sales and brand value.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
