Google referred to BTS (BTS) V's English name 'V' as the coolest alphabet.

When a fan saw V's photo constantly exposed when he searched for the alphabet V on Google Image and posted, "Taehyung is crazy" (Taehyung is insane), Google X (formerly Twitter) official account commented on V as "Best dressed letter of the alphabet."

In Google image search, text images appear in alphabets other than V, but V's photo is displayed as a representative image. The phenomenon was discovered by chance by an American student in February last year. The student looked for images in order from A to create an alphabet image slide show, and checked V's photo in V turn, and informed the teacher. The teacher spread this to her sister, who is a fan of BTS, and spread among the fans.

The Google image exposure method is a structure in which Google bots collect content 24 hours a day, place highly relevant images at the top, and adjust the ranking based on the latest search terms of Google trends. The high exposure of the V's photo during the V search is interpreted as a result of traffic according to the high search volume.

Since his debut in BTS in June 2013, V has recorded the most searches on Google among Korean celebrities. 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 accounted for the most searches among Asians. In 2025, he was ranked fourth in the 'Top 10 most searched people on Google'.

It also ranked fourth in Google Trends' analysis of male pop artists worldwide in 2024, behind Drake, Eminem and Justin Bieber. In 2025, it ranked 10th in the category of "most searched artists for pop stars born in the 1990s" and was the only K-pop star to be included in the top 10.

The data analysis channel 'Reigarw Comparisons' selected V as the world's most famous person among those born in 1995. V is the only Korean to make the list.
