BTS’s V Praised as a “National Treasure Visual” — Surgeons Say His Face Is Worth ₩40 Million

BTS member V is once again drawing global attention for his legendary visuals, with beauty experts in Japan and beyond praising his facial features as the gold standard of male attractiveness.

Japanese plastic surgeon: “A face that’s truly legendary”

A well-known Japanese cosmetic surgeon recently analyzed V’s appearance on social media, describing him as having a “national treasure–level face.”

According to the specialist, V perfectly balances:

  • cuteness
  • handsomeness
  • sexiness

The doctor highlighted his soft yet defined face shape, slightly rounded nose tip, and captivating eyes, adding that his gaze alone has the power to instantly attract attention.

He also noted that V’s global popularity and charisma make his status as a No.1 world handsome face feel “completely natural.”

The perfect E-line — and a ₩40 million price tag

Japanese media outlet Shueisha previously selected V in a feature titled “Top 5 Faces People Most Want, Chosen by a Fully Booked Plastic Surgeon.”

The surgeon explained that:

  • V has an ideal E-line (the aesthetic line connecting the forehead, nose, and chin in profile)
  • his sharp jawline creates a rare mix of softness and masculinity

To recreate a facial contour similar to V’s, the estimated cost would be around ₩40 million (about $30,000).

The most requested face in surgery consultations

Plastic surgeons in Korea have also revealed that V is the No.1 reference photo brought in by male clients seeking consultations.

One expert stated that in “ideal type” tournaments among professionals, V frequently takes first place, adding:

“Even from a man’s perspective, he looks incredibly cool. His photo is overwhelmingly the most requested.”

Golden ratio visuals recognized worldwide

Beauty analysts consistently point to V’s:

  • high facial symmetry
  • thick brows and long eyelashes
  • sharply defined jawline
  • full pink lips

as key features that blend Western depth with elegant East Asian contours.

This harmony of masculine and feminine elements is often cited as the reason his face feels both unique and universally appealing.

Redefining global beauty standards

Brazilian journalist Renan Peixoto noted that global beauty ideals are shifting:

“For a long time, macho Western features dominated the definition of a handsome man. V, who combines Eastern and Western beauty, is changing that standard.”

Meanwhile, U.S.-based facial analysis platform QOVES Studio also named V among the world’s most scientifically attractive faces due to his near-perfect proportions and symmetry.
