I just love that all the boys are comfortable in their own skin and they are letting us in on their individual style and passion. Couldn't agree with you more - BTS is a collection of really talented men. So proud of all of them.

Thanks Dave for your analysis. Why do people have to question Vs use of clothes in a mv or anywhere. Its all part of the vibe for the song and we know how creative and what an out of the box thinker he is. Just enjoy the beautiful song, his wonderful voice and the great setting in the caves. ❤❤

I love the individuality of the guys, I’m enjoying them as a person with own style. The music is great from all. I love V’s voice so much.

I just loved V's new single and his mv gave me this 70's atmosphere, his shiny sequined shirts,the mic he used, the old tv's. He got such a beautiful soothing voice, that fits greatly for this R&B song! Bravo Tae! Hugs from Canada!

I think V can do what ever he wants!!! He's a gorgeous, amazing human being and I'm so proud of him ❤️ Thank you Dave for explaining, again, so many things that are going on with our guys. Blessings to you and please take care.❤️💜 ❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤

V is a beautiful young man and I love his sense of style all of his clothing fits his personality and I wish I had half of his wardrobe in my closet. I don’t care if he wears pink or gold I just love his voice and his music

Seriously where do people come up with this stupid stuff? Tae made an mv and wore what he wanted and it does not mean he has come out as anything. A lot of guys wear things that are considered "for women" now but it doesn't mean they are gay or anything else, Tae and anybody in general should be able to wear whatever they want without being judged. 💜💜💜

He looks gorgeous in the video, and it doesn't mean that he came out as......V has a unique style! He's so handsome,talented, and has a beautiful voice 😍 Love him 💜💜

From what I've read, Hybe denied the request of the South Korean government, which I think is very fair, BTS has no obligation to save an event poorly organized by the government, if they are no different from any other citizen when it comes to doing military service mandatory. V looks absolutely stunning in the video and the music is top notch, and he doesn't need to prove himself as straight, gay, bi or whatever. He is a unique and quirky artist who can and should show himself however he wants, his fulfillment must come first. No wonder he shines like gold in the video. Love from Brazil 💜

As long as a person isn't abusing children, what happens in their bedroom is their business. I'm here for the music. Congratulations V

I am amazed at V 's new song, can't have enough of his mesmerazing voice, and just knew it would be wonderful, just like him. Classy, smooth, romantic. Every detail of that MV is so thoroughly planned, he thought of everything and the outcome is a bomb. He balanced his masculine and feminine energy , he would be a beautiful female, but his lean toned body is of a sexy sensual male. Wearing female clothing is nothing new for him and other members, and does not prove a thing but only the fact they can pull off every piece of clothes and still be sexy, and attractive for both men and women.

I see what you mean…BTS can only do so much and it isn’t fair to expect to serve the military like everyone else and still be responsible for performing. It’s just not fair. If they decide to re-group, and I know that’s the plan as of now, that’s when they’d be able to continue doing their music. Oh more positive note: I am excited to see what TaeTae does and his new music. We don’t know what Kim Taehyung’s sexuality or gender identity is, and why does it matter so much? I would respect and love him either way. TaeTae is gentle, kind and a respectful soul and that doesn’t change even if he’s gay, straight, male, non binary etc. Borahae 💜

V is an entertainer. What do people expect? He's intelligent enough to choose whatever he wants to wear. The problem is: HE LOOKS GOOD IN EVERYTHING HE WEARS!!! The guy is imperfectly PERFECT!!!! I'm just saying!😊😊😊😊 V is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tank you Dave 💜 The voice of V is amazing. 🇸🇪🇸🇪

It's a beautiful song and video. Congratulations V!!! We love you.

I remember a small group of ARMY trying to say Jimin came put as NB when MOTS: 7 dropped and we all heard Filter so any of these "coming out" rumors make me roll my eyes. Just like Jimin, Taehyung is secure in his masculinity which allows him to break the stereotypical, patriarchal, very gendered social norms in the society he (and many others around the world) grew up in. So those insisting this is his "coming out" need to stop. Art is art and if he (or Jimin, or ANYONE) decides he does not identify with his gender anymore, then he is able to make that choice of coming out. Do not assume anything. It is very rude in every aspect to assume anything about anyone.

V is art, and art speaks without making much sound. There is nothing wrong with the way he dresses. Just enjoy his music because his voice is unique

И что? Чон Чонгук появлялся в юбке,Чон Хосок тоже в юбке был и Шуга на концерте надевал юбку...А все сосредоточились на Ким Тэ.Ну,впрочем,как всегда.Люди забывают,что есть определенные контракты с определенными домами моды,которые даже айдолы уровня V нарушать не могут.

We support BTS due to their music, their character and how passionate they are. We do not question whatever their gender preference is as long as they didn't harm anyone we are good. We do love them because of their attitude towards other people and we love them all... If you don't say bad things about them just SHUT UP!!! We do not tolerate any bashing or degrading our idols.

This precious man can do what he want, he always got a lot of hate. I love him for his uniqueness. From the start ARMY knows about his beying unique. Other members named him from the start as special. So maybe some people should accept it, than they can become real ARMY. Acceptance and respect that's a difficult thing for some of us, I think. I just love this young man for what he shows us, without judgement.

Thank you Dave! I HATE “gender markers”. I’ve shaved my head bald twice for loved ones fighting cancer and that somehow makes me less of a female? I also don’t wear makeup or dresses very often. That doesn’t make me any less female or mean that I am gay or non-binary. It’s just what I prefer for MY life. People need to worry more about themselves. So glad that V, and really all the members, are able to be more themselves these days! I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT!

Thank you, again, Dave for your words and thoughts!

I absolutely loved V’s look in the video and the song suits his velvet voice. I never understand why everything has to be picked apart and analysed. Just enjoy the music video for what it is and the sound of a beautiful voice.

Tae's new single and video is stunningly beautiful, just as Tae himself is a beautiful man. As for how he dresses, trust me this is tame to how men dressed in the 80s. its up to Tae how he dresses or what ever he wears, men in the 80s wore make up, nail polish etc, so its a style that's revolving around again, just with a modern twist, personally I've always loved how Tae dresses, aswell as the rest of the guys too. 💜💜💜

I believe, we as fans must accept and love Tete the way he is because he is showing us his true self and essence as a human being. Please let's respect his sexual orientation and see him as the brilliant artist that he is and leave him live his private life as he wish.💜💜💜

I Love you V so much ❤️💜

I am so excited for V! I love his new music video, I cannot count the number of times I’ve watched it!! His voice is beyond amazing!! V is the King of style, and he can Rock anything he wants to wear!! I am so proud of him!!🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I don't see anything wrong with anyone choosing their sexual preference, It's his private life,he has a right to choose how to use his private parts,Besides he is an artist,art means creativity,He is a grown man he knows what he wants and what he should do,and why are they questioning only V?so many Korean idols cross dress but no one complains when it comes to our baby bear they all come nonsense,Me personally whether he is straight,gay,bi,pan or even asexual i will love and support him,only jelous people are judgemental HE IS UNIQUE IN EVERY WAY and lastly WE ARE PAST SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION LOVE WHO YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAPPY THE REST ISN'T IMPORTANT WE ONLY GOT ONE LIFE 😅😅😅😅😅

I love this video, I totally agree with you, V is just being himself, and just showing who he really is with no category attached to him!

DAVID ! GENIAL TU CONVERSACIÓN , ME GUSTÓ Y ESTOY TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO CON LO QUE DICES DESDE UN PRINCIPIO ... HASTA EL FINAL , TUS APRECIACIONES SON SIEMPRE SOBRIAS Y JUSTAS ...❤ SERÁ QUE ESTE MUNDO VA A CAMBIAR PARA MEJOR ?...

Thank you Dave . Your video is good .

Love it! I want more!

It's my first time coming through a video of yours and i love you !!

Thank you ❤

Creo que Tae tiene una elegancia innata y ese nuevo estilo extravagante y un poco hortera es mas bien para llamar la atención de una forma inmediata y visceral. Creo que la cueva donde rodó el vídeo está en Nerja, Malaga, España. El contraste de la iluminación interior y la iluminación sobre el cantante hace que la lentejuelas ciertamente vulgares en este tiempo, permanezcan en el total de la vision por mucho tiempo. Si queria llamar la atención de golpe lo ha conseguido con creces porque a quienes estabamos acostumbrados a ver a Tae de forma mas clásica nos ha dado una colleja de realidad. El se definio asi mismo como un camaleón y realmente hace tiempo que lo está siendo. Meterse ya en que si quiere o no quiere demostrar esto o aquello es tan ridiculo y absurdo como querer buscar tres pies al gato. Tae es Tae. Cualquier sobresalto estético es normal en él. No es el estereotipo de ciudadano coreano, es el estereotipo de ciudadano del mundo. Yo a este chico lo quiero y admiro muchísimo. Espero que tenga un exito total y rotundo.

Hello, I am going to write in Spanish, because my English is not very good. Gracias por las noticias y sobre todo por la explicación, me encanta que todo lo explicas de forma objetiva. Me gusta mucho tu nuevo estilo y el tono de tu voz, me ayudan a concentrarme más en lo que dices. Borahae, que seas feliz

A quick question y wasn’t v’s single or the Album wasn’t promoted y was it jst being dropped without notice 😏😏

Non-binary would be the last thing that would come to my mind about V's Style. In the 10 years you have seen the guys in all kinds of outfits chic, modern, rock, sexy, silly, more female, more male with more or less makup. The outfit makes perfect sense for the mood of the song and given his petite stature. I just imagine him in JK*s baggy pants outfitt ... On the military service of BTS: where does the government want to start and stop exempting young men from service and what kind of signal would that send to the ordinary people in the country, for whom also their usual rhythm stands still. Besides, I think that it is good for the members' health, psyche and regular daily routine to take a break from public life.

I love all BTS And i love V the way he is,, nothing wrong what he is doing, he just showed the other side of his life, which is we should RESPECT that. 💜

I can't wait for the military service to be over! Tay is who he is, I know old people find it uncomfortable, but we can just get over it! He looks beautiful in the new video and it's a splendid song. You are looking amazing. 💝

Congratulations V love your song!

Отлично спродюссированное музыкальное видео, в стиле 70-80...Тэхен артист - поймите это. Его чарующий, уникальный голос - это нечто.... Потрясающий горько -сладкий клип о любви... Очень чувственно!!!!

Thank you so much for your videos!!! It’s ridiculous that they think “he’s coming out” for the reasons stated in your video. Women wear tuxedos and men have worn skirts (historically and currently) and a lot of times it’s part of their culture. Rock stars paint their nails. Even J-Hope had painted nails for his album. As you stated “V knows art.” He knows high fashion. A lot of these new artist are open to crossing stereotypical gender fashion and I’m here for it! ❤💜

Thank you so much for helping break down misunderstandings about gender and sexual identity.

G-Dragon wore skirts and David Bowie wore skirts, V wore skirts…AWESOME!

Taehyung V 💜💜🤗🎙🕺👑🎧 Amazing Vocals TaeTae 💜🫶

I love your analysis, I was also appalled by the behaviour of the KGov and the lack of consistency and speed.. I was looking forward to these BTS phase2 as I always wondered what type of artists they are - and now we have the answer to this! Its beautiful newly found freedom! Ps V in the MV reminds me of Harry Style

Kim Taehyung is a very unique guy and always thinking outside the box. That's our Taehyung. Proud of you V.❤❤❤

Dave you look so tired. I love watching you. You always seem to ease the negativity. Thank you 👍

As long as V is happy as long as he is putting out songs creating something that V can be proud of That he can wake up in the morning or the middle of the Night look in a mirror and like the person he is . that to me as a K-pop entertainer is what's important.. As a Fan of this type of music I enjoyed this song and the way V did this video He looks and sounds wonderful It is Magical the sound is crisp the aesthetic says Calmly look at me see what I am trying to convey to my listeners Now after all that I have said WHYYYY do people out there have to go and be all up in this man's bedroom who give a slipping down into the same old mudd hole what he is or is not.. why ya got to be trying to trash these talented people who are out their making their frickin dreams come tru..e we want to dance to his music lay around chilling to V' Calm and sexy voice singingggggg singing okay that is it why trash this man you dont live with him hang out with him Go make your own dreams a REALITY LOVE YOURSELF STOP JUDGING Artist take us to a dream world filled with all kinds of wonders they pay heavy prices to give us entertainment why must some lonely soul out there using any platform to be up in this man personal business ughhhhhhhh Love or like the man MUSIC his way to entertain us Kayyy Okay I am gonna go me some ice tea and some thin to much on and watch V entertain me with his wonderful new SONG

What you have shared in this video is so important. Asian artist, I thank you. As a human being I thank you for respecting humanity in all of their forms and styles. V is a genius. He is an artist. He can dress like Big Bird and will still look amazing. We are all Yin and yang in varying degrees. Thank you.

The trip to Paris has refined his look and brought him to the front of fashion and he is gorgeous ❤❤❤ Both songs are wonderful. He has embraced the sophistication he was exposed to from Chanel.

Je ne comprends pas... Où sont ses chansons d'avant ? Celles dont on a entendu quelques extraits...

Love V for whatever his gender is.

We support you V you are awesome talented guy you deserved the best in everything you do thanks for sharing

I love v ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes, it is the society that sets the gender norms on how men and women should dress... we forget though that in early times, the royalties are dressed up in flowing glittery robes.. and their faces are literally covered in make up... and how they move..sassy kings of old England and even the Roman , Greek and Egyptian king all wear bejeweled clothes...safe to say V is just bringing it back in the 21st century with his own twist...💜😍

Hello Dave love your blog. It so inspiring and fresh ❤❤❤ V is a beautiful person, and he is very talented, he loves fashion you can tell, his new song is absolutely breath taking, loved it. You know Dave sometimes whatever you do its not going to be enough to make the whole world happy. That dies not exist, so with that being said. Kim Taehyung aka V is creating his own image and fashion which to Army and his fans WE LOVE IT..and support V, fashion is always changing, because everyone is trying to create a look that's inspiring and unique, there is nothing wrong with that. You know I'm really sad that people question his sensuality, who are we to judge, I will always support Kim Taehyung aka V in what makes him happy that's all that matters. I think they are great singers very talented and will see what the future has instored for V .WE PURPLE 💜 YOU V

Thank you for saying these words and going in depth about V’s Song Love Me Again .also explaining how V is in fashion he pushes up against the mold of the norm and honestly I don’t think his fashion choices are to uncomfortable ether they make him look good for being on a man .i’ve seen some really crazy fashion designs for men that are more feminine and V’s aren’t like that usually. I’m so proud of V

You did it again, Dave. Thumbs up on all you Sid! ❤️

Applauding to another intellectual commentary!!! 💜

I agree with you DD , great video !

V has always been like that. He knows he can say no that's not how I am going to do it. His whole being is just instinctively made for unique expressions of feelings and life. He deserves to NOT be judged . Just like he gives the world. Unconditional love and acceptance. He is Kim Taehyung. He is beautiful inside and out.

Suga posted on weverse that he may have to get on a stage this weekend I don’t know what this means however

I love your dark hair Dave but I'd like to see some pink and purple added

Your assessment is SO on target!! V...like all the members of BTS and all of KPOP for that matter...are PERFORMANCE ARTISTS!!! The VISUALS here are stunning and the music...DREAMY!! He is an amazing TALENT!!!

People really seem to think that these artists are the ones who decide all of the details in their videos, album jackets etc. He has a stylist who worked with the video director and art director to choose these looks, it was not him that picked them out people.

💜🤗💜First, since they are Bulletproof Boyscouts, if asked, and concessions are made, they would probably assist the Scouts situation gratis. They love people. Second, I do not have sufficient words for how I feel about V’s video. So beautiful, ethereal, professional, ARTISTIC. Yes, his talent and skill set is not the norm, BUT THAT IS THE POINT! We see him, in all his amazing glory. Borahae 💜🥰💜

Taehyung wears any style and gender with class and elegance. He has a personality that is far above what he wears. What matter is that the MV is well produced within the musical concept, the visual is also great, elegant, innovative but within the concept as well. But the main thing: the music is great and Taehyung's voice is wonderful and has excellent technical vocal quality. Indeed, one of the most beautiful voices of all time. I think people have to focus on and value his work as a professional. It seems that everything is used as a pretext to devalue Taehyung and diminish his talent.

Dave you hit the nail on the head. people need to stop with the only girls can wear this and that, clothes are just that, CLOTHES. I truly believe that men and women could and should wear what they want when they want. Thanks for keeping it clear. be Bless 💜

I'm from Brazil and I admire very much KIM TAEHYUNG . V is amazing ! He's talented, sexy, unique, special. V can to be what he is and nothing more.

V est juste talentueux il va a contre courant en faisant ce qu'il zime pour oui et pas un truc commercial qui vend bien, il porte les vêtements dans lesquels il se sent bien et c'est ce qui le rend encore plus beau.

Wow seriously then this should fall under the category for most of or not all of your male KPOP Idol’s with all the makeup they wear lipstick eyeliner mascara eyeshadow glitter also clothing like crop tops Taemin wore a crop top with a sports bra underneath in his video didn’t see backlash about that people seriously need to get over themselves I don’t care what there sexual preference is it’s not gonna make me love them any less and it’s really no one’s business these are grown ass men…………

Once u r famous then people start getting jealous and try their best to bring u down because they all know that they can never be V ..

Oh my God my boy so popular thats why so many people want to let him down but he will not he will shine likea star cause he is beautiful inside out pure soul

Thank you for always keeping it real, Dave ❤! ARMY and everyone else around the world have taken notice of BTS because of who they are, what they stand for, their immeasurable talent and stylistic flare! Beyond that, we’ve seen their hearts and their souls on the stage, in their music, with their voices. The world has gravitated toward them because of their passion for music, and what they wear will never identify them as who they are. They’ve broken so many barriers around the globe, and that’s why ARMY stands behind them proudly and always - 1000%!!

From Brighton 🌈UK - thank you for sharing: Tae is a true creative - his gender is his own affair, at least as far as the West goes…& it’s an open secret that he has been in a deeply affectionate relationship, since his teenage years: I honestly can’t picture someone of his sweet nature behaving in a corrupt way, or attempting to corrupt others: some footage shows efforts to prevent Tae & his lover from even sharing the SAME CAR! For many years, he’s worked faithfully as a Team Player: now, he’s ‘out there’, & we can see & hear the glorious results of his discipline & dedication…the writing & production on the new EP is beyond belief! It’s CREATIVITY, it’s not someone insisting that an entire culture changes the values that have sustained it for decades…I’m a former fan of ‘The 1979’: then Kuala Lumpur, & Matty Healy’s ham-fisted & dictatorial speech changed all that, & what I remember most is the young audience begging for him to stop… Kim Taehyune’s genius is about to burst into bloom - he just wants to get on with his work! Heaven bless you Tae, & keep you safe! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻

Tae has no restraints and I love that about him.

I guess you saw V's little live where he showed his nails decorated with smileys? He said something about not feeling very comfortable and talked about J-Hope painting his nails, he thought if he could try it himself. Music video and performance outfits are their own chapter. They are not necessarily chosen by the artist himself, but they are coordinated with the music to create an atmosphere. This second released song - Rainy Days - is better than the first one (in my opinion) 🙋🏻‍♀️💜

I love his choices of fashion! It looks good on him!

You nailed it once again Dave! Creativity and high fashion in general are meant to make a bold statement - challenging change does not relate to gender and preference.

*Who cares what people says when you are authentic and loves what you do. Kim Taehyung we love you and we will support you in all your journey. Thank you for your beautiful music !!*

I LOVE BTS !! I'm obsessed. V is in love with fashion...

He’s in show biz-you should expect the unexpected. Frankly, I think he looks fabulous and gorgeous. Wowza! 💜💜💜

how did the government neglect BTS? also well said about the non binary issues👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Dave, I knew from the beginning that Taehyung was different and Taehyung once said in an old Video, in BTS Career a few years ago that when he was in School, that in between when he was a boy, like to wearing girl clothes and if one day he would like to walk around in women's Clothes and at some point decides to walk around with make-up on, then i think that's cool, as long as Taehyung says that's his Person and part of his Personality, then i'm happy, if he does too would stand. But it's great that he has already come out as a Non-Binary and feels more comfortable that way😊Thsnk you Dave for sharing😊.

Well, the S. Korean govt decided NOT to exempt BTS' MS., and personally, I think it makes sense for #BTS to TURN DOWN the request. End of story.

I love Tae's androgynous visuals. Especially lately.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Otro saludo afectuoso para tí , vuelvo a escuchar tus palabras siempre actuales y justas , amo a BTS y a cada uno de sus miembros, tán diferentes personalidades y unidos en su estelar manifestación del arte en todo sentido de la belleza de " SER " .

it's not just v who has experimented with fashion. all the bangtan boys have at one time or another worn "female" clothes like skirts, embroidered blazers, fishnets, bags, shoes, etc. for example, rm, jimin, and suga have worn skirts way back in 2016. just recently, jungkook caused much fashion buzz during his airport arrival in korea when he wore an outfit from the women's line of a designer label. and j-hope is known to buy stuff from the women's lines of various designer labels as well. and so on. the bangtan boys have the slender builds and the self-confidence to get away with various kinds of fashion whether for men or women.

I feel like he only pushes gender boundaries in the gentlest of ways, just pushing the pov to a different spot like the artist he is. For the Scout Jamboree I am pretty surprised the government is asking BTS - seems a bit much. Hope a different solution is found, it is unreasonable to expect BTS to solve government problems.

BTS has been ignore back then, and now they are the most valuable to save the day..huh, time flies..once a nobody, now they are somebody and its a must to notice them..

I Absolutely love V's album Layover! I also love the way he is pushing gender rules! He is such a visionary when it comes to fashion! 💜💚🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Me encanta tu opinión y lo acertado de tus comentarios,V es único,solo V es V

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

i know that this is like really off topic but the pic of tae in the strawberry top in the thumpnail, just imagine how hot/adorable that would look when tae had red hair😍💜

En Mexico, respondemos con dichos ….. por ejemplo en este asunto con todo respeto, Zapatero a tus zapatos . Y/o. El respeto al Derecho ajeno , es La Paz !!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Government could shorten their military obligations.... why hasn't that been considered?

People please! As long as he's happy with his life and taking care of his family ..

Thank you, Dave Let's just down to it. What does it matter if any of the BTS members are gay or not.. It is their life, not yours..You would not like people talking about you, gay or not.... As for the clothes, J Hope wore a female sweater at the New Years in New York. Jungkook wore a female pants/skirt when he got off the plane in South Korea. Jimin has also worm female clothing. And to be honest, you would not know, if some ARMY or news outlet did not tell. These men, love to mix and match and what looks good on them. Who gives a flip..I don't. If I thought I could wear some of the clothes the members wear, I would. I love the outfit that J Hope had on that had colors like paint on it.... This is what I have seen and read... BTS members are going to look great in anything they wear. The military uniform will look great, look at Jin and J Hope..... Thank you, Dave
