The BTS phenomenon continues dominating global markets, and V’s solo ventures amplify this reach. Major corporations recognize his value extends beyond music into lifestyle and luxury sectors.

Beyond TIRTIR, Taehyung recently became Yunth’s first Korean ambassador, marking his Japanese skincare debut. His portfolio now includes:
- Fashion: Celine, Cartier
- Beverages: Compose Coffee, Coca-Cola Korea
- Lifestyle: Snow Peak
- Beauty: TIRTIR, Yunth
His appearance at Celine’s Paris Fashion Week and Vogue World: Hollywood cemented his status as a fashion icon. TIRTIR specifically chose V knowing his track record—the “Celine effect” and “Compose Coffee surge” demonstrated his commercial power.
The Strategic Wait Game
Fans immediately connected the dots. One viral tweet captured the sentiment perfectly: “Everyone was waiting for the return of the King.” Brands weren’t just interested—they had pre-planned campaigns ready to launch the moment V completed his service.
This strategic approach reveals how premium brands view V as an investment worth waiting for. TIRTIR’s 40-shade foundation range, revolutionary in K-beauty’s typically limited offerings, needed an ambassador who represents diversity and confidence—qualities V embodies naturally.
With BTS planning their 2026 world tour and V’s solo comeback on the horizon, his brand partnerships will only intensify. The TIRTIR collaboration proves that even military service couldn’t diminish his marketability. For brands, K-pop’s global influence through icons like V represents unprecedented reach across demographics.
