BTS member V’s (Taehyung) new back tattoo has become a hot topic among fans.
The moment that sparked attention happened during the “ARIRRANG” world tour concert. During a playful interaction on stage, Jimin lifted V’s shirt, briefly revealing the tattoo on his back. Fans immediately reacted online, and even V himself seemed surprised by how much attention it received.
Later, during a BTS Weverse live broadcast, V talked about the tattoo and revealed that he had actually posted a photo showing it before on his personal Instagram account.
However, at the time, almost nobody realized it was a tattoo, so it never became a major topic among fans.
Now, many fans believe the tattoo is connected to the illustration “If I Were A King.”
The artwork comes from When We Were Very Young (1924), a poetry collection written by British author A.A. Milne, best known as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. The illustration was originally created for Milne’s son, Christopher Robin.

Interestingly, in August 2025, V shared the “If I Were A King” illustration on his Instagram Story with the caption, “Hope you like it.” Because of that post, fans are now revisiting the story and connecting it to the tattoo revealed during the concert.
Fans have been reacting with comments such as:
- “Was this a hidden spoiler all along?”
- “I can’t believe that Instagram Story connects to this.”
- “This tattoo feels so artistic and uniquely Taehyung.”
Many fans are praising V’s artistic taste and emotional storytelling through the tattoo, saying it perfectly reflects his personal style and sensitivity.
