How to Place a BTS V Support Ad [2026] Birthday Guide
Share
What is a BTS V Fan Advertisement (Basic Information for Birthdays and ARMYs)?
BTS V (real name Kim Taehyung, 김태형), born on December 30, 1995, is an artist from Daegu Metropolitan City. He debuted in 2013 as the vocalist for BTS, and in 2023, he released his solo album "Layover." His unique deep voice and visuals have earned him immense support from ARMYs worldwide.
In 2026, the BTS world tour "ARIRANG" is underway. The album "ARIRANG" was released on March 20, and Japanese concerts were held at Tokyo Dome (April 17-18). V continues to be active as a member while also pursuing his solo activities.
Fan advertisements (birthday ads) are a culture where fans pay out of their own pockets to place ads on street screens, public transport, etc., to visually express their love for their favorite artist. V's birthday, December 30, falls at the end of the year, so placing ads in crowded areas like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Umeda in Osaka is particularly effective.
Check HYBE / BigHit Music Guidelines
Before placing a fan advertisement, be sure to check the guidelines of HYBE and BigHit Music, V's agencies.
- Use of portraits/photos: If using officially released photos or videos, agency permission may be required.
- Use of music: If using V/BTS music in video advertisements, copyright permission is required.
- Prohibition of commercial use: It is prohibited to divert fan advertisements for commercial purposes.
Please check the latest guidelines periodically on Weverse (official fan community) announcements or the BigHit Music official website. Oshi-ad also provides support for checking agency guidelines during the application process.
