The thing is, V wants to be seen as a normal person, just like the rest of us (normal? really? he's a BTS member, for crying out loud!). He wants his fans to connect with him on a human level, rather than just seeing him as some kind of celestial being. And, honestly, who can blame him? We all want to be understood and appreciated for who we are, right?
Now, you might be thinking, "but, why does it matter what we call him?" Well, my friend, words have power, and the way we speak to and about others can impact how they feel about themselves. By respecting V's wishes and calling him by his name, we're showing him that we care about his feelings and want to build a meaningful connection with him.
And, let's be real, who doesn't love a good role model? V's request is a great reminder for all of us to be kind and considerate in our interactions with others. So, the next time you're tempted to call him "alien", remember, he's just a guy who loves music, art, and making people happy.
