V decorates the cover of Dazed 2026 Fall issue... No.1 in sales in Korea and Japan

BTS member V once again proved his high popularity both domestically and internationally by featuring on the cover of the 2026 Fall issue of the British fashion magazine DAZED. The 2026 Fall issue of DAZED ranked first in the foreign books category on Yes24 and Aladin, and also took first place in the daily ranking for magazines on Japan’s Rakuten. Additionally, on Japan’s Qoo100, it ranked first and fourth in all K-pop categories, first in the KPOP magazines and photobooks category, and placed seven titles in the top 10 from third to eighth. This photo shoot was taken in Paris last July when V attended Paris Fashion Week as the global ambassador for the French brand CELINE. V styled the fall/winter collection presented by CELINE’s artistic director Michael Rider with a classic mood. Captured through the lens of photographer Erika Kamano, V displayed a unique presence with restrained eyes and deep masculinity. DAZED editor-in-chief Ted Stansfield said, ″V modeled like a professional,″ and after watching the ’Arirang’ world tour performance in London, he commented, ″The stage feels like V’s natural habitat. He was born to be on stage.″ Meanwhile, BTS held solo concerts as part of the world tour ’ARIRANG’ at SoFi Stadium in California, USA, on September 1-2 and 5-6, attracting 1.92 million attendees and concluding the North American tour. The next tour will continue in South America, with the first South American stage opening on October 2 in Bogotá, Colombia.
