A 72-pyeong(237㎡) large wall advertisement will be installed on the streets of Seongsu-dong for a week.The advertisement, which includes the phrases “Born to be a superstar” and “V IS BACK, “ properly announces the grandeur of the return.

● With fans, with V… Cafe is also a festival site
A fan event will be held at a cafe near the back gate of HYBE to celebrate V’s discharge and 12th debut anniversary.A large banner, photo zone, various installations, and even souvenirs will be prepared, creating a space where fans can gather and enjoy themselves.

The ‘scale’ of Chinese fans is already well known.On December 30th, V’s birthday, they held a light show for the second consecutive year at the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, capturing the attention of the world.
