BTS' Taehyung, widely known as V, has once again reaffirmed his status as the "Idol of Idols" after Sophia, a member of the rookie group KATSEYE, expressed her admiration for him.

She gained attention by becoming the #1 voted member of Dream Academy, topping the charts in 62 out of 182 countries. She has consistently named V as her favorite idol throughout her journey.
Sophia isn’t alone in her admiration for V. Mikha, a member of the Filipino girl group BINI, has also expressed her fondness for V on numerous occasions.
Similarly, Huh Yunjin of LE SSERAFIM has been a fan of V since her debut. Yunjin’s social media presence has been filled with creative collages of her and the Layover artist, often accompanied by poetic lines or quotes. This habit dates back as far as 2017, showcasing her deep-rooted admiration for him.
Aria, India’s first K-pop idol, who debuted with the group X:IN, also expressed her love for Taehyung during an interview with NDTV Good Times. When asked about her favorite member of BTS, she was quick to name V, adding herself to the list of idols who admire him.
The admiration for V doesn’t stop with female idols; many male idols have also openly expressed their inspiration from him. TXT’s Beomgyu, TREASURE’s Haruto, and ENHYPEN’s Jungwon, among others, have often mentioned V as their favorite idol, further emphasizing his influence across the industry.
This consistent admiration from both male and female idols cements Taehyung's position as the "Idol of Idols." His influence is not limited to just fans but extends deeply into the K-pop industry.
