BTS member V has called on fans to behave more respectfully at airports, criticizing some for reckless behavior.

In a recent livestream on fan platform Weverse, V said, “Airports aren’t private spaces. They’re used by everyone.” He stressed the need for order in public places, especially ones shared by many.

He brought up the past “Purple Line” campaign, a fan-led initiative promoting safe distances between artists and fans using purple guide lines.

“If fans could help bring back that kind of orderly culture, I’d really appreciate it,” he said.

V laughed, “If the Purple Line comes back, maybe I’ll start putting more effort into airport fashion — maybe even wear a suit.”

V completed his military service in June. BTS is preparing for a full-group comeback, with a new album planned for spring next year.
