Taehyung flaunted an expensive bottle of wine he received as a gift during his Weverse livestream
BTS's Kim Taehyung aka V recently announced the release of his brand-new debut solo album, 'Layover,' slated for release on September 8. He also released two tracks from his album, 'Love Me Again' and 'Rainy Days' along with their music videos - which has had ARMYs going wild on Twitter. Not to mention, his gender-bending fashion photoshoots for magazines like W Korea and Arena! Kim Taehyung definitely knows how to keep his devoted fanbase on their toes.
BTS has been surprising (and indulging) ARMY by releasing candid content on social media. Perhaps they have sensed that their fandom misses them dearly, and one way they are re-connecting with fans is through frequent livestreams. Leading up to this debut album release, V has been one of the members who has been particularly active on Weverse.
Yesterday, Taehyung spent some quality time with ARMY before going to bed. V was adorably tipsy in the livestream and said that he has been working hard to prepare for 'Layover's' promotional events. Viewers also got to witness a 'what's in my bag' (Tae edition) where V opened his bag to show ARMY an expensive bottle of wine he had received as a gift. Taehyung said that he hadn't drunk wine in nearly a year and came live because he missed his beloved fans.
ARMY is no stranger to the fact that Taehyung is one of the only members of the Korean sensation who neither has a taste for nor can stomach alcohol. Like the expensive boi that he is, he is only known to very occasionally enjoy wine. His livestream had fans excitedly speculating whether Taehyung had just returned after filming an episode of 'Suchwita' - BTS Suga's talk show where he invites guests and has conversations, musical and otherwise over alcohol and food. Every BTS member except for Taehyung has made an appearance on the show, the latest being Jungkook when he released his digital single, 'Seven.' With 'Layover' dropping soon, ARMY is hoping to catch Tae on the talk show and witness some precious 'Taegi' bonding (as Taehyung and Yoong's friendship is endearingly nicknamed).

Taehyung is BTS's resident cutie and didn't shy away from once again treating fans with his signature innocent 'TATA Mic' face and pouting at regular intervals. He also said that he had been hitting the gym frequently even in the midst of his busy schedule and flexed his bicep. Leader RM already made fans go berserk yesterday with his shirtless workout video - it seems that BTS has fully decided to take fans up on their 'thirst tweets'!
Taehyung also said that he missed fans dearly and asked them to regularly upload ARMY logs as he couldn't sleep at night if he didn't watch them. With that adorable face, who can resist Kim Taehyung? Get to work ARMY, film away!
Taehyung's debut sustained solo venture promises a collection of six captivating tracks, headlined by the mesmerizing lead single 'Slow Dancing'. Singles from the album like 'Love Me Again' and 'Rainy Days' have already provided glimpses of the sensual R&B, jazzy musical orientation and emotive storytelling that we have come to expect from the artist.
We look forward to Taehyung's personal and musical promotions for 'Layover' and listening to the entire tracklist!
