V of BTS gifted unexpected joy to small business owners by sharing his daily life with fans.

On the 12th, V posted photos of a Tost store he visited after completing his reserve military training, which led to a steady stream of fans visiting the shop. Fans shared on social media the menu items V had ordered and the fact that he had visited, while the owner reported an increase in sales.

That day, V uploaded several photos to Instagram with the caption, "I'm just living like this." The images captured his daily life after finishing his first reserve military training following his discharge from the army, including eating Tost and visiting a bus stop, a convenience store, and a snack shop.

Fans followed in V's footsteps, creating a new pilgrimage route in Seoul dubbed "V Road." The owner of the Tost store posted on social media, "I love BTS. Thanks to you all, I made so much money today my back ached."

When a fan responded, "As an ARMY who runs a small business, I'm proud. Our Tae-tae's influence is amazing!! Please create a 'Tae-tae Menu,' boss," the owner expressed joy, saying, "It's been a tough time for small business owners lately, but this is the best."

There were also cases where products used or worn by V translated into sales for small businesses. A book published by a small publishing house became a bestseller after V was seen reading it, and an artisan who had been unable to pay rent grew significantly after V wore their bracelet, attracting overseas buyers.

The small business owner who produced the pajamas in the 20,000 won range that sold out after V wore them donated 300 sets of pajamas and groceries to a social welfare center.
