V has recently been working at full capacity, both producing the upcoming album next spring with the BTS members and fulfilling his personal schedules. As the global ambαѕѕador of CELINE, he departed on October 4 to fly to Paris, attended the show at Parc de Saint-Cloud on the 5th, and then returned to кσяєα on the 7th.

Besides his handsomeness and striking appearance, which remained unchanged before, during, and after this event, the media and fans noticed one item that he has consistently carried with him recently — the red string worn around his neck. In fact, when a reporter noticed this detail and asked him about it, he only smiled shyly, lightly touched the string, and responded: “Oh this?” without providing further explanation.

Although V changed many outfits, styling, accessories, and fashion looks, the red string was always visible in every moment, even when he was at CELINE’s official show.

The red string around V’s neck then became a hot topic among fans for several days. Various spiritual meanings were suggested, and most agreed that they were the most reasonable explanations.

First, some fans pointed out that in the customs of many cultures, a thin bright or dark red string is considered a talisman, believed to ward off evil spirits or bring good luck.

In Jewish culture, the red string is used as a protective charm, avoiding misfortune and shielding against the “evil eye.” In Hindu culture, the red string represents divine protection, attracting positive energy, symbolizing strength and courage. It holds a similar meaning in the cultures of Eastern countries, including кσяєα.

Most of these are believed to come from temples or spiritual masters, and previously V’s visits to monks were no secret. It could be a gift he received when visiting a temple or an item that family members had prayed for on his behalf.

Second, fans vaguely recall that V once mentioned that he was “lacking fire” — in Eastern culture, V’s Five Elements destiny is Fire on the Mountain - a type of Fire element that burns quietly and needs extra energy to ignite fully. Sometimes it lacks “heat” and needs additional energy to ignite. Adding a red string is equivalent to adding fire, making luck and fortune stronger.

Next, кσяєαn fans also explained: “In South кσяєα, it's really popular, that shows you believe in destined love. It is said that two people who are destined to meet or love each other are tied together by an invisible red thread. We saw Taehyung wearing red string multiple times.”

Additionally, many opinions suggest that wearing the red string is not always spiritual; many people simply choose it as minimalist jewelry. In fashion, red evokes energy, pαѕѕion, and confidence. The string V wears is also seen as an accessory easily paired with various styles.

Besides the red string around his neck, some fans also noticed that in the past, V often wore red strings around his wrists, emphasizing a connection to personal beliefs or feng shui.

Although the true reason for using this accessory has not yet been revealed by V himself, fans appreciate his subtle and discreet way of expressing his style or spiritual beliefs
