BTS' V sparked emotional reactions among fans after wearing a black‑and‑white scarf during the group’s first concert in Peru on October 7, 2026, at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, part of the ARIRANG World Tour.
Social‑media users quickly identified the scarf as a possible keffiyeh, a symbol associated with Palestinian identity and resistance, while others noted it could be a shemagh, another Middle‑Eastern headscarf. Comments ranged from hopes that the choice was intentional to praise for the visual impact, with one fan writing, “I hope it was intentional,” and another adding, “OMGG THAT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.”
V has not confirmed whether the scarf was meant to express solidarity with Palestine, leaving the intent unverified.
