V from BTS has made a remarkable comeback, ensuring his return is one to remember.
On August 5th KST, W Korea revealed that V will be featured on the cover of its September edition, which marks his first magazine feature since completing his military service. A teaser video shared on social media has already garnered over 15 million views within just 17 hours, igniting excitement among his dedicated fans.
The visually stunning teaser highlights V’s distinctive features — from his unique eyes and trademark beauty mark to his piercing gaze that beautifully shifts with each angle. Adorned in Celine’s Spring 2026 collection, he presents a performance that captures a balance of strength and vulnerability, along with a blend of masculinity and gentle elegance.
This editorial shoot was conducted while V was in Paris for the Celine fashion show in July and showcases Michael Rider’s inaugural collection for the brand, succeeding Hedi Slimane’s departure.
Detailed shots focus on V’s exquisite nail art, a notable scratch above his eyebrow, and his strikingly symmetrical facial features. The visual storytelling is both haunting and captivating, exemplifying a top-tier editorial concept.
V alluded to his comeback in July with an Instagram Story stating, “I take care of myself now” and “Just watch,” paired with a self-care photo, indicating he has certainly fulfilled that promise.
