"What kind of festival is Diwali? I'm curious."
BTS member Kim Taehyung, better known as V, got a taste of Diwali celebrations from Indian fans this year.
Fans marked the festival on November 8, 2026, and took to Weverse to introduce him to the festivities.
V played along, asked a few questions and showed interest in some desi treats.
He even greeted everyone with a cheerful “Diwali Mubarak!” in Hindi.
It all started when an Indian fan told him about Diwali and shared festive sweets virtually.
V was curious to know more about the occasion and asked fans a question.
He said: “What kind of festival is Diwali? I’m curious.”
Fans did not take long to explain the celebrations and traditions behind the festival of lights.
Then came the Hindi greeting, as V wished Indian fans “Diwali Mubarak!” on the platform.
This sent ARMY into a frenzy, but the desi surprises were not over just yet.
A picture of gulab jamun also made its way into the exchange with the singer.
This gave him a little introduction to India’s festive food and sweets.
The singer also spotted fan-made AI pictures of all seven BTS members in traditional Indian outfits.
The images showed the group in colourful kurtas, with diyas and fireworks completing the festive setting.
V seemed impressed with the styling and commented: “The clothes are pretty.”
Needless to say, Indian fans had another reason to celebrate after his reaction.
For those who do not follow the group closely, V is one of BTS’ seven members.
The other members of the group are RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook.
Born Kim Taehyung, the singer made his solo debut in September 2023 with the album Layover.
He has also explored acting and made his debut in the historical drama Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth in 2016.
BTS, meanwhile, are back together following the members’ individual military service commitments.
The group released their fifth studio album, ARIRANG, in March 2026.
They have since been gearing up for their next chapter together as a group.
Fans across the world continue to wait eagerly for more updates from the band.
For Indian fans, this year’s Diwali interaction with V will remain a special memory for a long time.
