BTS V has been crowned the top 'Male Idol Who Destroyed the Award Show Stage' in a recent fan community survey, showcasing his unwavering popularity. V secured the first place in the survey titled 'Which male idol destroys the stage at award shows?' conducted by the fan community 'Choeaedol' from January 10 to January 17.
Renowned for creating iconic moments at major award shows like the Grammy Awards, V has been holding the record for the highest view count for a fancam for nearly five years, solidifying his reputation as a 'stage genius.'
At the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022, V, along with the other BTS members, performed the hit song 'Butter.' His graceful movements and powerful yet flexible dance execution highlighted his phenomenal stage presence, living up to his titles of 'stage genius' and 'master of the stage.'
Particularly noteworthy was V's performance before the 'Butter' choreography, where he transformed into a spy and seductively whispered into pop star Olivia Rodrigo's ear. This performance was chosen as 'the best moment of the Grammys' by major media outlets like BBC, LA Times, CBS, and E! NEWS.
Additionally, V's brief moment of winking at the camera while performing 'Dynamite' at the 63rd Grammy Awards in 2021 became a social media sensation. American actress Ally McKay expressed her admiration for V's performance, stating, "I used to like Joey McIntyre from New Kids On The Block as a child, but now V has become my Joey."
V holds the record for the highest-viewed K-pop idol fancam. His fancam for 'Boy With Luv' uploaded in April 2019 has reached 143 million views, making it the highest-viewed K-pop fancam ever. It also set the record for the fastest K-pop fancam to reach 100 million views, doing so in just 318 days.
Many idol juniors regard V as a 'role model' for his stage performances.
ENHYPEN's Jake mentioned in a Weverse interview, "I get a lot of inspiration from V to create cool and confident characters in music videos." WEi's Kim Yohan said, "I often watch V's fancams after debuting. Watching them before going on stage really pumps up my adrenaline."
Other juniors, including TXT's Beomgyu, TREASURE's Haruto, Park Jihoon, The Boyz's Younghoon, VICTON, ENHYPEN's Sunghoon, Sunwoo, Jay, ATEEZ's Yeosang, Mingi, 1THE9's Taekhyun, Newkidd's Yunmin, and Cravity's Gu Jungmo, have also mentioned V's stage performances and consider him a role model.
