On November 12, 2025, BTS’ Taehyung (V) caught fans’ attention for his kind-hearted gesture before leaving South Korea. The idol was seen at Incheon International Airport wearing an olive-green turtleneck sweater, denim jeans, and black-rimmed glasses.
He was leaving for Los Angeles to attend the TIRTIR pop-up event. Before boarding his flight, the K-pop star shared Instagram stories to wish students across South Korea good luck ahead of the annual College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). In the short clip, he smiled at the camera, gave a thumbs-up, and said,
“good luck with the csat! hwaiting.” (Translation by @thvdiaries on X)
The message instantly brightened fans’ and students’ timelines. He also added a humorous comment that if students didn’t know the answer, they should choose option number two.
“if you don’t know the answer its 2 (option 2/b) [comment]”
The CSAT (Suneung) is known as one of the most challenging college entrance exams in South Korea. Every year, the country slows down for the test, and celebrities often send good luck messages. Fans flooded social media with appreciation, calling him “Luckycharmhyung.” An X user, @mytaebb, wrote,
Taehyung’s gesture stood out for its timing, especially as he shared it just before heading off for his overseas schedule. Many praised him for being thoughtful and caring despite his busy schedule.
Some even joked about following his advice to pick “option b” in their upcoming exams. Others said his words made them feel comforted and motivated.
