The BTS vocalist was met with an overwhelming crowd that got so out of control, his managers and bodyguards struggled to protect him at one point. One fan even got so close that the crowd went crazy for a moment, and a few were seen falling. A fan later posted the video on Weverse (the fan interaction platform), to which the K-pop idol himself replied, 'ARMY, you know that, right? It's dangerous~ Let's be safe next time~' Also read: BTS crushes charts with record brand value a day after comeback announcement; outscores SEVENTEEN, BLACKPINK in July rankings Taehyung is currently one of the richest K-pop idols, with his brand value soaring to a whole new level.

He later attended that year's Fashion Week alongside fellow Korean ambassadors, including Park Bo Gum and Blackpink's Lisa. The move was followed by Taehyung's multiple appearances as the cover boy for ELLE Korea. Apart from that, the singer also represents Cartier and fronts their Panthère de Cartier campaign. BTS' V is also partnered with SimInvest as its brand ambassador, along with the homegrown giant Samsung. On the work front, BTS has announced a full album comeback with all seven members onboard. The same will be released next spring, according to RM, who spoke to fans during a Weverse live, marking the first OT7 appearance in a while. RM emphasised that while the members will continue with their solo activities, they'll be mainly focused on the group's big comeback after three years. He also mentioned that fans might see fewer individual updates than before, but they'll do their best to keep everyone posted.
