Pokémon Master Kim Taehyung: Bts V’s Tokyo Theme Park Adventure Goes Viral

From dominating the Tokyo Dome stage to starting his journey in “Pallet Town,” BTS’s V is proving he’s the world’s biggest Pokémon geek. His latest Tokyo adventure has fans swooning.

BTS V (Kim Taehyung) has officially traded his microphone for a Poké Ball. Fresh off the massive success of the BTS World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ at the Tokyo Dome on April 17–18, V took some well-deserved downtime to visit a Pokémon theme park in Tokyo. And by the looks of his Instagram, he wasn’t just visiting—he was living the dream.

“I’ll Start in Pallet Town”: The Ultimate Pokémon Nerd

V, widely known among ARMY as the unofficial “Pokémon Master” of BTS, shared his day out with the caption: “I’ll start in Pallet Town.” Despite his attempt at a disguise—sporting a wide-brimmed hat and mask he couldn’t contain his excitement. Fans were treated to a series of photos showing V posing with Pikachu, Snorlax, and most notably wearing a hilarious Psyduck (Golduck/Koduck) hat.

His caption game was just as legendary as the photos. When he found an area styled like a research lab, he playfully lamented, “Ah, I overslept, so Professor Oak isn’t here,” bringing a wave of laughter to fans worldwide. He even shared a video of “DJ Pikachu” at a Pokémon-themed club, joking, “Club entry.”

The “Eevee” Connection

For long-time fans, V’s love for Pokémon is a well-documented passion. He is famously compared to the Pokémon Eevee so much so that he is almost always seen carrying Eevee plushies at fan signings and airports.

His dedication to the franchise is deep: during the recent tour, when he suffered a minor leg injury, he didn’t just use any bandage; he used bandages featuring Eevee and Psyduck, proving his love for the characters is a consistent part of his daily life.

Editor’s Insight: Why We Love “Human” Taehyung

In the middle of a high-pressure world tour, seeing V embrace his inner child is what makes his brand so incredibly “sticky.” It’s a reminder that beneath the “God of Stage” persona who commands thousands in a stadium, he is still a man who finds joy in the simple things. By sharing his “Pokémon Master” journey, he bridges the gap between superstar and fan, creating a relatable bond that keeps his engagement numbers at the top of the charts.
