The singer-songwriter showcased a variety of ensembles from their collection in the pictures, embodying CELINE's bold and elegant blend of classic rock style and fresh enthusiasm.

The massive campaign created an infinite amount of shares online on social media, especially from the singer's fans who called him "KIM CELINE."

Massive billboards have been installed in exclusive shopping areas and affluent residential areas around the country. The idol's fans are thrilled with the way he continues to influence the world.

Recently, V was featured in new images published by W KOREA on February 14, 2024. The magazine released a series of photos of the singer-songwriter on their official Instagram, which became popular online, as a Valentine's Day gift to the fans.


On the music front, V released a brand-new song in honour of his 28th birthday. He collaborated on an English duet with vocalist UMI from the United States.

As part of the mandatory military service, the singer-songwriter was appointed to the II Corps, or 2nd Division Military Police Corps, on January 31, 2024.
