BTS' 'V' Kim Taehyung wins 5 global fashion honours - ARMY says “He was born to rule”

Looks like it’s celebration time for BTS’ Kim Taehyung, aka V - and for good reason. The star just bagged a massive five awards at The Global Choice: 100 Global Fashion Icons 2025/2026, and honestly, it feels like the internet saw this coming. The yearly list highlights the biggest faces in fashion, beauty, music and entertainment, and this time, Taehyung was everywhere you looked.

He didn’t just walk away with one big title - he pretty much swept the floor. V took home the top honour, Global Icon of the Year, a nod to just how huge his presence is around the world. On top of that, he was crowned Global Face of the Year, Global Beauty Icon of the Year, and Most Handsome Global Superstar in the 100 Global Faces of 2026 list. As if that wasn’t enough, he also snagged the Global King of Fashion title in the 100 Global Fashion Icons of 2026 category.

The second the news dropped, fans went into full celebration mode online. Timelines filled up with proud messages, love notes, and a whole lot of “he deserves this.” Many pointed out how Taehyung doesn’t just rule the music scene - he’s quietly become a major force in fashion and pop culture too. One fan summed it up perfectly: he keeps proving, again and again, that his influence goes way beyond the stage.

Since finishing his military service, Taehyung has been everywhere, showing up at big luxury fashion shows, fronting major brand campaigns, and basically reminding the world he’s back. At the same time, he’s gearing up for BTS’ much-awaited full album Arirang, which drops on March 20. And the excitement doesn’t stop there. The group is set to take off on a huge world tour from April 2026 to March 2027, hitting cities across Asia, North America and Europe. And the fans can't wait.
