BTS’s V finally has his first on-screen kiss… with a frog?

BTS’s V has once again captured online attention following the release of teaser videos for his upcoming solo photobook, TYPE 非. On Tuesday, January 20, Taehyung shared 15 promotional teaser clips, each highlighting different concepts and visual styles explored in the project.

While most of the teasers were widely praised for their artistic direction, one particular clip quickly went viral. The video shows Taehyung seated at a table opposite a pixelated frog. The scene escalates as the idol stands up appearing visibly angry, prompting the animated frog to jump towards him.

In the clip, the frog and Taehyung appear to ‘kiss’ before the frog swallows him whole and calmly returns to its position on the table. The unexpected sequence sparked shock, amusement and widespread discussion across social media platforms.

Fans humorously described the moment as V’s first-ever on-screen kiss, a topic that has been a point of curiosity for years, especially since his acting debut in the historical drama Hwarang. Many viewers appreciated the absurd and experimental nature of the teaser, noting that it reflects Taehyung’s willingness to push creative boundaries in his solo work.

Others interpreted the scene as symbolic, suggesting that the unusual imagery may carry a deeper artistic meaning aligned with the themes of TYPE 非. Some fans also speculated that the teaser playfully pokes fun at long-standing fan discussions around romantic roles and on-screen intimacy involving K-pop idols.

Overall, the teaser has heightened anticipation for TYPE 非, with fans praising V’s unconventional approach and continued evolution as a solo artist beyond his work with BTS.
