Los Angeles, CA – November 30, 2025 In a delightful fusion of K-pop charisma and Hollywood glamour, BTS member Kim Taehyung better known as V shared an endearing interaction with Wicked star Cynthia Erivo at the star-studded Vogue World: Hollywood event, a moment that's resurfaced in V's latest personal vlog to melt hearts worldwide.
The exchange, captured during the October 26 gala at Paramount Pictures Studios, has reignited fan frenzy, blending cultural elegance with unfiltered joy just weeks after the event's initial buzz Vogue World: Hollywood, inspired by the golden age of cinema, transformed the iconic studio lot into a runway meets reel extravaganza. The evening featured high-fashion shows infused with film classics, electrifying performances by Doja Cat channeling Tina Turner's fierce Mad Max persona in a custom chainmail mini-dress and soulful sets from Gracie Abrams. Proceeds from the event supported costume designers impacted by the devastating LA wildfires, adding a layer of philanthropy to the night's opulence.
At the center of it all was V, who made history as the first K-pop artist personally invited by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The global icon arrived in a sharp gray suit reimagined with hanbok influences from Jaybaek Couture, complete with a red norigae-accented belt a traditional Korean pendant symbolizing good fortune and a rare 120-year-old watch from the Gojong era, paying homage to his roots amid Hollywood's glare.
Seated front-row between Erivo and Madame Web actress Dakota Johnson, V exuded quiet sophistication, later posing for photos with Johnson and Lizzo, while sharing smiles with the elite crowd that included Nicole Kidman, Baz Luhrmann, Tyler Perry, and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The footage shows the duo exchanging warm glances and lighthearted banter during the performances, their poised elegance capturing the essence of cross-cultural camaraderie.
