The Supernatural actor wore Taehyung merchandise to SoFi Stadium, while Robbie Williams’s daughter celebrated her birthday with a life-size V cutout.
BTS’s Los Angeles concerts welcomed a new celebrity fan, and he already appears to have chosen his bias.
French actor Sebastian Roché attended the third night of BTS’s ARIRANG World Tour at SoFi Stadium wearing a shirt featuring V. After the concert, he shared photographs from the evening on Instagram with a playful announcement: “Newsflash: I’ve joined the ARMY.”
When a fan asked whether V was his favorite member, Roché responded with an affirmative emoji, seemingly confirming Kim Taehyung as his bias.
For ARMY, it was a familiar journey compressed into one evening: attend a BTS concert, become captivated by the group and leave with a favorite member.
Roché is known internationally for television series including Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and General Hospital. His appearance also gave fans an entertaining crossover between the supernatural television universe and BTS.
BTS’s V Gains a New Celebrity Fan at SoFi Stadium / Official IGThe V Shirt Made His Choice Clear
Roché did not arrive at SoFi Stadium dressed like a casual celebrity guest.
He wore official merchandise featuring V’s face, making his apparent preference visible before he posted anything online. Fan accounts quickly spotted him in the audience and circulated photographs of his concert look.
His “I’ve joined ARMY” message made the moment feel more genuine than a standard celebrity backstage photograph. It presented him as someone who had experienced the show from the audience and understood why BTS continues attracting new fans more than a decade after its debut.
There is also something distinctly relatable about Roché immediately responding to a bias question. Choosing a favorite member is one of the first conversations many new ARMYs encounter, and his answer required no lengthy explanation.
The shirt had already said enough.
Robbie Williams’s Family Also Has a V Bias
Roché was not the only global celebrity connected to V during BTS’s latest Los Angeles stop.
British pop star Robbie Williams attended a BTS concert with his family. His daughter Coco’s affection for the group had already become clear through photographs from her eighth birthday celebration.
The party included a BTS theme and a life-size cardboard cutout of V, making Taehyung an honorary guest at the celebration.
Williams’s wife, Ayda Field Williams, shared a birthday message for Coco that referenced BTS’s hit “Dynamite” and included purple hearts. The family photographs prompted affectionate reactions from fans, especially after they noticed V’s cutout standing among the decorations.
The detail creates an unexpected bridge between two generations of global pop culture. Robbie Williams became one of Britain’s biggest pop stars after rising to fame with Take That, while his daughter belongs to a generation growing up with BTS as an established international act.
V and Robbie Williams Had Already Met
The connection was not entirely new.
V and Robbie Williams met at Celine’s Spring/Summer 2023 menswear show in Paris in June 2022. V attended the event alongside BLACKPINK’s Lisa and actor Park Bo-gum, creating one of that year’s most discussed fashion-week appearances.
Williams was also present, giving the British singer and BTS member an opportunity to meet years before Coco’s V-themed birthday party.
At the time, the interaction represented two major pop careers crossing paths at a luxury fashion event. In 2026, the story feels different: Williams was attending BTS’s concert as a father accompanying a young fan whose favorite member appears to be V.
That transition says something meaningful about BTS’s reach. Their audience is not limited to one age group, country or period of pop music. It can include an eight-year-old fan, her globally famous father and a veteran television actor publicly declaring himself a new ARMY.

V’s appeal extends across music, fashion and screen culture.
His distinctive baritone makes him immediately recognizable within BTS, while his performance style alternates between theatrical intensity and playful spontaneity. Away from the stage, his work with luxury houses and his interest in photography, jazz and classic cinema have helped him develop an identity that reaches beyond conventional K-pop promotion.
That combination often makes him an accessible entry point for celebrities encountering BTS through different industries. Some discover him through the group’s music, others through fashion events, acting or viral concert clips.
Roché’s experience appears to have followed the live-performance route. He arrived wearing V merchandise and left ready to identify himself as part of ARMY.
BTS’s Tour Is Still Creating New Fans
The Los Angeles concerts were part of BTS’s first full-group world tour following the members’ completion of military service.
The ARIRANG tour began in South Korea in April 2026 and marked the group’s return to stadium performances after an extended period focused on enlistment and solo projects. The reunion tour has attracted longtime fans who waited through the hiatus, but moments like Roché’s reveal that BTS is still gaining new listeners.
That may be the most impressive detail behind the celebrity sightings.
BTS returned with one of the world’s largest existing fandoms, yet the concerts are not functioning only as reunions for established ARMY. They remain spaces where first-time attendees can discover the group’s appeal in real time.
Sebastian Roché entered SoFi Stadium as an internationally recognized actor. By the end of the night, he had acquired another title: new ARMY and apparent V bias.
