On the 7th, V shared an Instagram post with the caption, "January Owari, February Hajime", along with several snapshots from his daily life. In נαραиese, "Owari" and "Hajime" mean "end" and "beginning," respectively, reflecting his neat mindset as he wrapped up January and welcomed the new month of February.

In the released photos, V is seen wearing a hoo∂ιє, a backwards cap, and biting into a taiyaki, a signature кσяєαn street food snack. In another photo, he also shared a small moment of joy while drinking fish cake broth at a roadside food stall to ward off the cold. Despite being a global star, V’s simple and down-to-earth demeanor as he leisurely enjoyed the winter atmosphere left a strong impression.

In the same compilation post, V also revealed an interesting result from the “My Music Age” test. The screen showed his musical age as “82 years old,” with an explanation that he was “deeply immersed in music from the late 1950s,” reflecting his typical musical taste.

Notably, the song V tagged in the post also featured a similar clαѕѕic-style melody—“Where Your Warmth Begins” by artist Sienna Rose—further confirming the accuracy of the test result. Afterwards, an account named @siennarosely even shared a message thanking V for using her song. At this point, fans began to notice that soмєтнing seemed off.

The unusual aspect lies in suspicions surrounding Sienna Rose’s identity. She is an emerging artist in early 2026 with millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Songs like “Into the Blue” and the album Honey On The Moon have gained significant popularity on Viral Top 50 playlists on Spotify and Deezer. However, the singer has sparked major controversy due to strong suspicions that she is an AI-generated product, characterized by the absence of personal information, no live performances, and an unusually rapid release schedule.

Fans believe that even V may have fallen victim to this generative AI product. He appeared to be captivated by a catchy track without realizing that it was actually created by AI—just like millions of listeners around the world who have been misled. On the other hand, the fact that V was deceived also demonstrates how increasingly sophisticated AI-generated content has become, to the point that even an artist with a decade of musical experience could not detect anything unusual.

It is undeniable that the rapid development of AI is opening up new opportunities in creative fields, but it also poses serious challenges—especially regarding intellectual property rights and the devaluation of creative labor by idols and music producers. In the past, BTS have also expressed strong opposition to AI-generated art on multiple occasions.

In V’s case, if he had known that the song was an AI-generated product, he certainly would not have tagged it. Some fans left reminders about the song’s origin on platforms such as X and Weverse in the hope that he would see them. Others shared their thoughts on how frightening AI has become these days:

- Tae using an AI “artists” song oh we’re doomed. Tae nooooo....that is AI

- The fact that even Taehyung got fooled by an AI song is actually scary. AI is getting way too real

- I can’t believe even Taehyung fell for it too. This really shows how advanced AI-generated music has become

- People often pick songs randomly on Instagram without checking the source, so it’s understandable. But someone please tell him it’s AI

- Taehyung loves retro and soulful vibes, so it makes sense that he thought it was a real in∂ιє artist

- Honestly, this totally fits Taehyung’s vintage music taste, so I get why he was drawn to it

- It’s normal to just listen and tag a song on IG without researching the artist, but I hope he removes it once he finds out

- His taste in old-school, jazz-inspired sounds is so similar to that AI artist’s style. No wonder he chose it but Taetae, this is an AI artist
