BTS’s V Revived A Photographer’s Twitter Account That Had Been Dead For Three Full 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.
One of V’s interests 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!!!”
감사 !!! https://t.co/yJmbchjr0O

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

… Becker was a good sport about it and admitted he was indeed excited to have his work reach V.

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 😆🤓🐯

Like so, V continues to amaze ARMYs with his endless passion for arts and photography. Fans look forward to seeing more of V’s recommendations and introductions to new artists and works on Twitter!
In case you didn’t know, in the world of Twitter, there is an entire universe of pictures existing for V. Once ARMYs realized V’s love for landscape photography, they began tweeting breathtaking views from all over the globe to share with V and the rest of ARMYs. This collection of photos have become not only V’s treasure, but also ARMYs’ go-to place for finding peace, healing spirits, and appreciating nature.
