“I PURPLE YOU” is a newly coined term created by V with the meaning of “Let’s believe and love until the end like purple, the last index of rainbow,” and it has also gained huge popularity in China, where V is gaining huge popularity by using the phrase “I PURPLE YOU.”
At the “Samsung Galaxy Unpack 2020” event in February, V wearing Buzz Plus appeared on the presentation screen, drawing attention to V’s all-weather performance.
V expressed a clean image of hydrogen energy, a future clean fuel, with his beautiful appearance in Hyundai Life’s advertising campaign, while Lotte Duty Free’s Star Avenue ad video showed a strong and provocative image using a red turtleneck shirt and chair, perfectly digesting various concepts.
In the Bodyfriend ad, which showed fantastic chemistry with Suga, and Chilseongsaida ad, where comic dance was excellent, they also appealed with lovely and refreshing images.
