V of BTS opens personal TikTok account

BTS member V has officially joined TikTok.

The K-pop star launched his account under the username @tete_kimv, which is already followed by fellow BTS members J-Hope and Jungkook.

As of writing, the account has quickly gained traction on the platform, amassing around 2.1 million followers shortly after its launch.

Jungkook is the first member of the group to open a personal account on the platform.

In January 2025, J-Hope also opened his page.

BTS is also composed of RM, Suga, Jin, and Jimin.

The supergroup is set to release "Arirang," their first group album since 2022, on March 20. The title is inspired by the Korean folk song, described as the country's unofficial anthem.

The group will hold a city-wide comeback celebration across Seoul dubbed "BTS The City Arirang Seoul." The immersive event is expected to expand to other cities around the world.

BTS will make their return to the stage on March 21 with a performance at the historic Gwanghwamun in Seoul. The show will be streamed on Netflix. —Carby Rose Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
