BTS‘ V turned 25 at the stroke of midnight KST on Dec. 30, which called for a lit celebration organized by fans across social media — and even at the tallest building in the world.
The official Twitter account for BTS sent out a celebratory message for V, which included a thank you note from the birthday boy himself.
“I’m so happy &thankful I’m able to receive many messages of congratulations from ARMY on my birthday,” one fan’s translation of his original message read. “We’ve spent countless days together, but you all have made my birthday become something even more special. I’ll deeply cherish &always remember your wishes with a grateful heart.”

Furthermore, China Baidu Vbar, V’s loyal Chinese fanbase, orchestrated a light show on the side of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which stands at 2,722 ft.
Messages such as “Happy V Day” and “We Purple You” as well as his full name “Kim Taehyung” sprawled across the skyscraper, while his Dubai-based fans belted the lyrics to his song “Winter Bear.”
