BTS V Left in the Dark? Online Translator Mishap Sparks ARMYs' Heroic Intervention
In recent times, AI-generated photos have become a sensation in South Korea, with the EPIK application offering users a variety of yearbook-themed images through a simple upload.
Unsurprisingly, even globally renowned stars like BTS couldn't resist the allure of this trend. V, a member of BTS, expressed his desire to join the trend but found himself unsure of where to begin.
V's Quest for Trendy Photos
Seeking guidance, he turned to the ARMY, the dedicated fanbase of the group. V responded to a random post on Weverse, inquiring about "the app to turn one into an international student."
This request stemmed from the current popularity of American yearbook photo aesthetics in South Korea, which contrast with the traditional Korean yearbook style.
However, due to the phrasing of V's question, it became susceptible to misinterpretation when translated through a web translator.
Many international ARMY members assumed that V was searching for an app capable of genuinely transforming him into an international student.
Consequently, they earnestly recommended various language-learning applications to help him achieve this goal.Despite the misunderstanding, the international ARMY members' intentions were undoubtedly pure, as they wished to assist their beloved star in his quest.
