Typically, K-pop idols travel in vehicles provided by their management companies. This is a common industry standard, aimed at ensuring safety, controlling schedules, and easily supporting artists throughout their activities.

The company-provided idol transport vehicles usually share one characteristic: spacious black vans with multiple seats, since a group typically has 5–7 members plus accompanying staff. Hyundai (Starex or Solati), KIA, or FORD are the most popular brands among idols. Because of this recognizable feature, whenever these vans appear, fans and the media immediately take notice.

ARMYs are also familiar with the signature Hyundai or KIA vehicles that Big Hit has used to transport BTS members for at least the past 11–12 years—until they noticed that the cars had been upgraded. One could even say they have been elevated to a “privileged” level befitting the status of world-clαѕѕ superstars like BTS.

Specifically, some fans recently observed that BTS members often appear next to ultra-luxury cars like Bentley or Mercedes for their personal schedules.

The news first broke when fans saw V stepping out of an expensive Bentley at the airport on November 11 to fly to the U.S. for a Tirtir event. Later, on November 16, when he returned to кσяєα, the same car was spotted picking him up at his private residence.

Another member recorded as using a Bentley is Jungkook, when he returned to кσяєα from a busy schedule in fяαи¢є on November 19.

Meanwhile, recently, ARMYs noticed that j-hope was using a Mercedes-Benz S-Clαѕѕ W223. He sat in the back seat of this luxury vehicle during a live broadcast on November 20. On the evening of November 21, when j-hope attended a HUMAN MADE event—the brand he collaborated with for the Human Hope collection—the same car was seen picking him up once again.

When these details are listed, one might αѕѕume that these luxury cars belong personally to the members. BTS obviously have the financial means to purchase these expensive vehicles for themselves. However, ARMYs have evidence suggesting that they are owned by Big Hit Music.

One fan mentioned: “In South кσяєα, a green license plate now generally means that the car is a corporate-registered vehicle. Starting Jan 1, 2024, company-owned pαѕѕenger cars valued over 80 million won have to use light green plates.” The green license plates perfectly match what fans observed on the luxury cars picking up BTS members recently, further reinforcing the argument that these are vehicles prepared by Big Hit for the members’ personal schedules.

Another notable point is that groups under HYBE labels like TXT, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, and CORTIS still follow the policy of using standard vans. This means that BTS members appear to receive additional privileges—and the reason for that is obvious!

This topic is currently attracting significant attention from fans and netizens, who have commented:

- This could be a collaboration with brands that BTS members are working with, maybe that company is this car brand, mostly this car brand.

- Apparently, the Volkswagen Group is behind all of this, both with Bentley and its wнιтe Cupra model <Are You Sure?! Season 2>

- I love it, now the guys are leaving so much more elegantly, ahr.

- This change makes sense; a van with a dozen or more seats is overкιℓℓ for just one member. Moreover, at BTS’s level, a luxury car is more fitting for them.

- Agreed, Big Hit certainly has the capacity to purchase these luxury cars to serve their top executives, and BTS naturally falls into that category. However, it’s also possible that when other idol groups have personal schedules, these vehicles are used for them as well.

- Wow, Big Hit really spares no expense for BTS—totally deserved given everything they’ve contributed!

- Luxury cars for personal schedules? That’s next-level treatment, but BTS earned every bit of it.

- These perks are insane, but honestly, BTS has more than earned this level of privilege.

- At first, I thought these were personal cars, but considering the green license plates, it’s probably Big Hit’s vehicles. They certainly have the means to provide this for BTS. After all, you can’t have global ambαѕѕadors riding around in standard vans.
