BTS’ V, despite his military duties, made a surprise appearance at IU’s final “HEREH World Tour” concert in Seoul, turning heads and breaking the internet after supporting his idol friend. Yes, you heard that right—V wasn’t going to let his enlistment stop him from showing up for his girl IU.
On September 22, 2024, fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium were thrilled to spot the BTS sliding into the venue. Sporting a casual look with a hoodie, tracks, and his buzz cut, he was clearly there to go incognito, but who’s really going to miss a BTS member in a crowd?

This show marked the finale of IU’s tour, which had a star-studded run across the globe, starting in Seoul and hitting major cities in the USA, Japan, China, and Europe. With her sixth mini-album, “The Winning,” IU has been serving up bops, and V showing up was just the cherry on top for ARMY and Uaena alike (that’s the name BTS and UI stans have, respectively).

V may be in the military, but it’s clear he’s still making time for his K-pop besties!
