BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) has become such a global sensation that he’s overshadowed the actual letter “V” on Google searches! Fans and non-fans alike are noticing how the K-pop star’s fame dominates even the alphabet.

On January 16th, a BTS fan shared a funny story online. The fan’s younger sister, a teacher at a special education school, noticed something surprising during class.

One of her students was working on a slideshow featuring images of each alphabet letter. But when the student searched for the letter "V", instead of seeing the usual alphabet visuals, the results were flooded with photos of BTS’s V!

The student, who wasn’t even a K-pop fan, was both amused and confused. The teacher shared the funny incident with her sibling, who posted it online.

Fans quickly confirmed the claim—searching “V” on Google Images indeed brings up a flood of photos of Kim Taehyung, leaving traditional “V” images nowhere to be found.

This unique phenomenon shows just how powerful V’s influence is. According to Google Trends, V has been the most-searched BTS member since their debut in 2013, with peak search volumes recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Even during his break for military service, he maintained his spot as the most-searched Asian star. His impact is especially strong in Asia, where his popularity is unmatched.

V’s dominance isn’t limited to Google. He’s also a top-ranking star on platforms like Instagram and Wikipedia, proving that his global superstar status goes beyond music.

Outshining celebrities from all fields, including sports and Hollywood, V has truly solidified himself as Asia’s most prominent and influential icon.

It’s safe to say, BTS’s V isn’t just a name—it’s a brand, a phenomenon, and now, a replacement for the letter “V” on the internet! Fans are loving the moment, and many agree: "Kim Taehyung doesn’t follow trends; he is the trend!"
