BTS' Taehyung attends IU's "The Winning" in Seoul

IU's HEREH World Tour has been a groundbreaking global journey that began in early 2024, spanning several months and crossing continents. The tour has taken her to major cities such as Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, London, Berlin, and many across North America.

It represents a pivotal moment in her career, reflecting her massive international influence and the connection she holds with her fans worldwide.

One of the most significant moments of this tour is the encore concert titled "The Winning," held at the prestigious Seoul World Cup Stadium on September 21 and 22, 2024. This finale made history, as IU became the first female Korean artist ever to perform at this stadium. The anticipation for this concert was immense, with many fans and fellow artists eager to witness the conclusion of this incredible tour.

Among the celebrities attending the finale was BTS' V (Kim Taehyung), whose presence added to the excitement. IU and V had collaborated earlier in the year on their hit song Love Wins All, which was released in January 2024.

The song was not only well-received by fans but also became a core part of IU's concert setlist, symbolizing her ability to blend genres and work alongside other influential artists.

Just moments before he was spotted at the venue, the BTS star posted a picture of himself as his character "Taejun" from the Love Wins All music video, which sparked even more excitement among fans.

What made V's appearance so heartwarming was the connection to the song’s narrative. While in the original Love Wins All music video, IU's character Jihye and Taehyung's Taejun don’t get their happy ending, during her concerts, IU plays an alternative version in which their characters are reunited and have a happy conclusion.

This poetic touch delighted fans, who were thrilled that Taehyung himself was witnessing this more hopeful ending on the big screen.
