DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

V (BTS) proves his strong influence, not only in music and fashion but also in many other fields.

In 2021, the Korean long-running drama "Squid Game" became a global hit, captivating audiences around the world. Based on its success, a 10-episode reality competition series of the UK was released in November 2023, inspired by the original work.

Squid Game: The Challenge is a reality competition competition featuring contestants competing in a series of games for high-profile children to win a cash prize of $4.56 million.

One of the contestants of Squid Game: The Challenge, an influential person nicknamed Flawless Kevin, recently confessed that he was a candidate to become a player after watching BTSs V transform into one of the red- costumes of Squid Game.

Kevin humorously revealed, "The real reason why I signed up for Squid Game: The Challenge... My co-stars may be competing for $4.56 million, but I am competing for Taehyung's heart."

During BTS's 2021 "Permission to Dance On Stage - Live Play" concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, V (TaeHyung) caused a stir when appearing in the protective costume of the movie "Squid Game".

V's iconic red sports outfit and black mask, along with his cheerful energy and charming presence on stage, made the stadium explode.

The V series wearing the "Squid Game" costume spread strongly on social networks. Even Netflix producers promote this image of the male idol.
