"It looks like a pop-up store by the company," Netizens amazed at the scale of the fan-organized photo exhibition for BTS's Kim Taehyung

While Kim Taehyung, aka V, is always in the spotlight for his multitude of talents, breathtaking visuals, and fun personality, his die-hard fans have also gained attention for the great projects they do to express their love for him.


Last month, fans of V were featured in a business publication for ignoring Beijing's K-culture crackdown and spending US$3.5 million to support BTS's album 'Proof.' This month, a 'V photo exhibition' held in Seoul is garnering attention for its grand scale and quality, comparable to one done by a company. 

'LOVE is HERE to STAY' photo exhibition was held from July 21 to July 24 at the ARA art center in Seoul. The 4-day exhibition was hosted by 'Nuna V,' Taehyung's largest Korean fansite, boasting over 2.1 million followers on Twitter. 

The V exhibition featured a huge gallery displaying fansite-taken photos of Taehyung from concerts and fan meetings over the last six years, photo zones and photo booths for fans to take their pictures, and various goodies like photo cards, stickers, posters, accessories, and many more.

The hashtag '#LOVEISYOU_V' trended on Twitter for several days as fans who attended the event shared photos and videos of their experience, while international fans bemoaned the fact that they lived outside South Korea. 

Korean netizens on a trending post on theQoo with over 90,000 views and 850 comments discussed V's photo exhibition. Many comments praised the professional scale and quality of the fan project. 

"Wow, I'm not even a BTS fan, but I want to go there. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ." 

"If you hadn't seen the word "fansite master" you would have thought it was a pop-up store hosted by the company..."


"And how much money did this cost? I don't think you can do this unless you are born rich and have industry experience."


"It's a lot more attractive than what the company does... Really well done."

"Isn't this done by an industry person???? Looks like someone working in that field."


"I can feel how much you care for V."

"Looking at this, it seems like real fans are the real unpaid creators... It'd be nice to have a company that opens exhibitions with that quality... It's really great." 


"It's not just an exhibition, it's love."


"Look at the scale. It would be incredible to say it's official, but this is done by one fansite master? Then the financial and planning skills are crazy."

"I've been to several exhibitions but this is the first time I've seen an exhibition that received a lot of care. Planning is good!"
