BTS’s V Revived A Photographer’s Twitter Account That Had Been Asleep For Three Whole Years
BTS‘s V, also known as the photography-loving “Vante”, often tweets his new favorite photographs from talented artists around the world, to share his hobby with ARMYs.
V’s latest interest was sparked by a photographer named Johannes Becker, whose astonishing pictures of Mother Earth must have captivated V’s eyes. V ended up tweeting Becker’s beautiful works…

… which, of course, blew up on Twitter. The photographer, whose Twitter account @was last updated in 2016, was summoned back to the platform when V mentioned his name. Becker retweeted V’s shoutout and replied in Korean, “Thanks!!!”

ARMYs noticed that Becker had been on a long hiatus from Twitter until V shared his works on BTS’s official Twitter feed.
When the cheeky folks of Twitter playfully poked fun at how quickly the photographer responded to BTS’s tweet…
Hahahah! https://t.co/FCYK05p2hg

ARMYs are especially swooning over the most adorable interaction V had with Snape in a thread of tweets back and forth. When Snape suggested V visits Canada to witness the wildlife in person, V wholeheartedly invited the photographer to come shoot in Korea too!
Korean landscape is also very nice. I hope you have a chance to take the picture of it 😆🤓🐯
