BTS member Kim Taehyung, aka V, was chosen by Generation Z as the #1 male celebrity whose image they want to recreate as a Virtual Model in Metaverse.
In a new survey, SMART Uniform, a famous uniform brand in South Korea, assessed the "Top 10 Fashion Trends" among Generation Z teenagers to form a consensus. For two weeks, they were surveyed about clothing trends they follow, shopping sites they use, and celebrities they admire.
Generation Z, or Gen Z for short, colloquially known as Zoomers, refers to the generation that was born between 1997-2012, succeeding the Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha.
When asked which male celebrity image they'd prefer when creating a virtual model in the metaverse, Z-generation participants ranked:
Metaverse is "an integrated network of 3D virtual worlds" and a bridge between virtual space and reality. Taehyung has risen to be a popular choice as a Virtual Model in Metaverse among the general public.
Months ago, Noh Jung-hyeong, CEO of Lotte Information and Communications at the IT division of LOTTE Corporation, also shared the same belief.
He named Taehyung as a prime example of a representative model that will appeal to all genders and audiences of all ages.
To help South Korea achieve success during the Metaverse Era, CEO Noh Jun-hyeong cited Taehyung's global impact, "If BTS V is used as an avatar, we will be able to achieve success both at home and abroad.”
Can that Lotte CEO hire him now? He is free for solo works
