BTS V Facial Hair Laser Removal: A Dream Cut Short?
During an OT7 surprise live broadcast on January 16, 2026, the members of BTS gathered to interact with fans. Amidst the excitement, Taehyung (V) shared a personal update: he has started laser hair removal for his facial hair. While common for idols, the news hit differently for those who remembered his dream of growing a beard.
The 2025 Backlash and Netizen Pressure
The heartbreak stems from a controversial incident in 2025. Back then, V posted photos featuring his facial hair, only to delete them shortly after following a wave of criticism from certain netizens. Despite V expressing his fondness for his beard multiple times, many fans believe the pressure to maintain a "clean-cut" idol image forced his hand.
International fans, in particular, have been vocal on social media. One fan noted, "He really liked his mustache and posted it on every platform. K-netz, you will pay for this." The sentiment highlights a growing divide between fans who want to see the artist's authentic self and the rigid beauty standards often imposed by the industry.
