When AI first emerged and became a trend, there was a craze among Kpop fans to use AI to create images of idols as children from their current photos. Fans were thrilled to admire these adorable baby versions of their favorite idols.

At one point, this AI trend even became a way for fans to imagine what idols’ future children might look like.

Of course, the ARMY fandom couldn’t stay out of this fun trend. Photos of mini versions of BTS members received a lot of attention.

Recently, a few photos of a baby said to look extremely like V have been circulating within the fandom, leading fans to believe that these images were also AI-generated. From the facial features to the large eyes, cute mouth, and nose shape, the baby reminded fans immediately of V as a child.

The similarity between the baby and V made it hard for fans to believe that this was a real-life child rather than an artificially generated image. It wasn’t until several videos of the baby were shared that fans realized the images were not created with AI.

It turns out that the baby going viral within the fandom is a hot kid in South кσяєα with a TikTok account ahin0222s2 and an Instagram account ahin._.0222. This 3-year-old has been famous for adorable moments and charming expressions since he was very young. His parents have diligently recorded his reactions in various situations and shared them on social media.

Currently, the “mini V” has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, and this number is expected to continue rising as the ARMY fandom takes notice of him.

The baby has also become a hot topic of discussion across fan social media, with many humorously imagining that if they married V, their child would look just like this:

- Taehyung's mini version. At first, I even thought this was an AI video—the expression is exactly like his

- So cute same Kim Taehyung. I mean, I can think these photos are from ChatGPT

- Kim taehyung we need to talk rn! Can you said he’s not your baby right? hahaha Just kidding

- Second version of taehyung. The baby looks so much like him, it’s unreal. I had to go from Twitter to Ahin’s TikTok account to confirm it

- If you used Face App or ChatGPT, I don’t think it could even create childhood photos of V that look more like him than this baby

- Wow I can literally imagine V’s future son looking just like this

- Oh my gosh. This baby looks EXACTLY like V! I can’t deal with how cute this is!

- I thought this was AI at first… but nope, it’s real and my heart can’t take it

- This little kid is literally V in miniature form

- I need to follow him on TikTok now… Ahin is too adorable

- This baby is the cutest doppelgänger ever… I can’t stop staring

- Ahhh I knew it… if I married V, this is exactly what our child would look like 

- So it turns out this is "Kim-chi is good" — V’s son?
