As artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly widespread and emerged as a global trend, the K-pop fan community has quickly embraced this technology to create new visual experiences. One particularly popular trend involves fans using AI to turn back time by transforming current photos of their idols into incredibly realistic childhood versions.

The trend does not stop at recreating the past. It has also become a way for fans to imagine what the idols’ future children might look like.

Of course, even ARMY (BTS fandom) could not stay out of this fun trend. Photos of “mini versions” of the members of BTS have been widely shared online, attracting significant attention from both fans and netizens.

Recently, several photos of a baby who is said to look strikingly similar to V began circulating among fans, leading many to believe that the images were also created using artificial intelligence. From the facial features to the big eyes, cute mouth, and the shape of the nose, the baby immediately reminded fans of V when he was young.

The resemblance between the baby and V was so striking that many fans found it hard to believe the child was real rather than an AI-generated image. It was only after several videos of the baby were shared that fans realized the photos were not created with AI.

It turns out that the baby who has been going viral among fans is actually a well-known child in South кσяєα, with a TikTok account under the username ahin0222s2 and an Instagram account ahin._.0222. The three-year-old boy gained popularity thanks to his adorable moments and charming expressions from a very young age. His parents have carefully recorded their son’s reactions in various situations and shared them on social media.

At present, the “little V” already has hundreds of thousands of followers across social media platforms, and the number is expected to continue rising as more ARMY fans discover him.

The child has also become a hot topic among fans on social media, with many humorously imagining that if they married V, their child might look soмєтнing 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?
