YTN News reports on BTS’s V 33-meter-long mural street becoming a major tourist attraction in Daegu

A recent project for BTS's Kim Taehyung, aka V, was featured on YTN News, a 24-hour Korean News channel, for becoming the latest Daegu tourist attraction for the next two years. 

YTN News reported about a new 2m high, 33m long panorama mural on the outer wall of Daegu's Daeseong Elementary School, V's childhood alma mater, located opposite of Daleong Park.

The panorama mural features 11 of V‘s solo and self-composed songs. 

The background design is a combination of purple for V‘s trademark phrase “I Purple You,” and the painting “Starry Night” by Van Gogh, V’s favorite artist.

The project was done by Taehyung's Chinese fan club, China Baidu VBar, for his recent birthday. They consulted with HYBE, Daegu Daesung Elementary School, and the local government for approval. 

Eun Gwihyang, Principal of Daegu Daesung Elementary School, who agreed to offer the school, said: 

"V is a world-class singer. If our students see this all the time & know about him, this can give dreams & hopes to our kids. So I could decide on this."

Han Mihyang, Daegu Seo-gu, head of Culture & Promotion Division, who gave their approval, said:

"Seomun Market, the oldest traditional market in Daegu, is nearby & across the street from here is Dalseong Park, where V often visited when he was young. I think it will be a good opportunity to promote our region if many fans and tourists from all over the country visit."

This project will last until 2023.
