The last time a member of BTS, V, was mentioned in theSundaily, it was for his ninja-like reflexes.

This time, V is making the headlines again because a Brazilian journalist and producer of Latin America’s largest broadcasting network Rede Globo labelled V as the ‘Cultural Icon of the East’ for transcending Western beauty standards.

Renan Brites Peixoto wrote on Twitter, “V is the Cultural Icon of the East who will set new direction beyond the standard that good-looking men should all be Westerners and macho masculine.”

According to All K Pop, V has won 18 major worldwide handsome titles and even caught praise from famous plastic surgeons for his perfectly symmetrical face.

Peixoto also praised V’s vocal skills and talents, and compared him to music legends.

"In the future, V will be portrayed in the same page as Paul McCartney, a former member of The Beatles."

He also shares the opinion that “Kim Taehyung aka V is infinitely better than Psy.”
