BTS V was selected as one of the top 10 Korean hot actors to watch by Japanese magazine.
JJ, a fashion & lifestyle magazine for women in Japan's teens and twenties, selected 10 handsome actors appearing in Korean dramas and ranked Park Hyung, V, and Lee Min-Ho as the top three respectively.
JJ introduced V with "A handsome man with a high nose bridge, clear eyes," and added, "V has a low-pitched vocals that are good to listen to, so you can feel the gap between his face (pretty guy)." There will be many fans who are fascinated by the difference," They said, citing the baritone voice behind the handsome man's appearance as an attractive point.
Looking at the brilliant careers of the actors who were ranked together, we can see that the popularity of V in Japan, called "Taetae Land," played a major role in the rankings.
V's actor's debut drama'Hwarang' is a youth drama that was aired through KBS in 2016, and is popular among drama fans as well as K-pop fans.
Park Sung-hye, the producer of the show, said, "V caught my eye at the time of casting idol members. Because of his busy schedule, I had to set it up to die from the beginning, but I loved and liked the energy of the person himself," he said, adding that he appreciated V's charm. Director Sung-sik Yoon evaluated the performer Kim Tae-hyeong, saying, "He is a cute, lovely and handsome, despite the first acting challenge. He has a natural sense and unique personality."
V won the 13th "Best Idol Actor Award" in 2018 for a single drama, while Japanese media Danmee also selected V as one of the "stars recognized for his acting skills in Korean historical dramas."
"K-drama fans are waiting for V's new drama, watching the gallery 'N times'," said the Philippines' top music TV channel MYX. "It is urgent for actor Kim Tae-hyung to make a comeback," They said, drawing attention with a photo of him editing V as the main character in the drama.
On the other hand, Korean dramas are very strong, accounting for more than half of Netflix's top 10 Southeast Asian content from March to April of this year. As the consumption platform changes from terrestrial to Netflix, and in Japan, the age of the main consumer groups decreases in their 10s and 20s, the evaluation of the Korean Wave is expanding further due to K-pop.
In particular, in the case of the drama "Itaewon Class," which was very popular in Japan, "BTS V is speeding up its popularity," "V's participation in the OST has created a great event that attracts K-pop fans from all over the world," drawing expectations for the next film by actor and singer-songwriter V.
