BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) warmed hearts around the world after expressing gratitude for a small Christmas gift he received from a taxi driver, sharing the touching moment with fans through a short live broadcast. The original Turkish chocolate brand behind the gift later responded with a heartfelt message of thanks as well.
On the night of December 22, V went live for just over a minute to share what he called a “special moment.” Explaining that he turned on the broadcast “just to show this,” he revealed a Christmas gift he had received from a taxi driver while heading home. The present turned out to be Turkish chocolate, Tuvana, a simple yet thoughtful gesture that clearly moved him.
Appearing in Chrome Hearts glasses, a brown cap with the letter “A,” and a black coat, V held up the chocolate with visible excitement. He repeatedly thanked the taxi driver and explained that he felt fans should see the gift as well. After briefly showing the chocolate, he ended the live without further commentary, leaving a strong impression through the sincerity of the moment alone.
“Shortly after the broadcast ended, Tayas Gida, the Turkish chocolate company that produces Tuvana, posted a message of gratitude on its official Instagram account. The company wrote, “A small gift, a big smile. Today, we witnessed a beautiful moment.” They continued, *“Kim Taehyung shared the Turkish chocolate Tayas Tuvana, which was given to him as a gift by a taxi driver, during his live broadcast.
This became a great source of happiness and motivation for us.”* Emphasizing authenticity, the company added that there was no advertisement or commercial collaboration involved and that they simply wanted to share the joy.”
Fans quickly flooded social media with emotional reactions. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “He’s so wealthy yet remains humble, finding happiness in the smallest things and sharing it with us. He’s truly a gem of a person.” Others praised V for valuing kindness over the gift itself, noting that what touched him most was the gesture behind it.
Another fan commented, “He appreciated the act of kindness more than the present. How could anyone not love him?” while someone else added, “A stranger’s small kindness moved his heart, and he wanted to share that warmth with all of us. That’s genuine tenderness. We should all try to show small kindnesses to strangers every day you never know how much it might mean to someone.”
Through a single minute-long live, V once again reminded fans why his sincerity and humility continue to resonate far beyond music, turning a simple chocolate gift into a moment of shared warmth and inspiration.
