## Top 2.5% While on a World Tour — Seriously?

On June 2, V posted a video to his Instagram Stories showing his promotion to **Diamond 2 in League of Legends’ Solo/Duo ranked queue** — with a season record of 44 wins and 28 losses, a genuinely solid win rate for a highly competitive tier.

In [League of Legends](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Legends), the ranking ladder runs from Iron all the way through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grand Master, and Challenger. Diamond 2 places V comfortably in the **top 2.5% of all players globally** — a bracket typically occupied by semi-professional and highly dedicated players.

What makes this even more remarkable is the context: Taehyung is currently mid-way through the **BTS ARIRANG World Tour**, which spans 85+ shows across 34 cities in 23 countries through 2026 and 2027. The man is literally grinding ranked games between stadium concerts.

The Instagram story — captioned *“Anyone want to play a 5-stack?”* — immediately went viral. ARMYs and gaming communities collided in the comments, with fans alternating between disbelief and pure pride:

- *“Pro Gamer Kim Taehyung is NOT a joke”*
- *“He’s on world tour AND hitting Diamond 2?? What is rest?”*
- *“TAEtactic searching for 5-stack teammates is the most chaotic thing I’ve seen this year”*

V previously reached Diamond IV in 2024, also earning **Honor Level 5** — the game’s sportsmanship recognition — praised by fans for being elite AND well-mannered in solo queue (a genuinely rare combination).

## He’s Not the Only Celebrity Gamer

V’s achievement sparked a wider conversation about K-pop idols in ranked gaming. Notable comparisons doing the rounds:

- **Kim Jun-su (XIA)** — reportedly reached Master Tier
- **Seventeen’s Wonwoo** — Diamond Tier player
- **Han So-hee** — Diamond Tier
- **Super Junior’s Kim Hee-chul** — Diamond Tier
- **Park Ji-hyun** — once reached Master Tier in Teamfight Tactics

Diamond is clearly the unofficial tier of K-pop royalty. V, however, is the one trending.
