BTS V's transformation into 'The Great Gatsby'

 

 BTS V is attracting attention as it was born as a 'Gatsby Meme' from the movie 'The Great Gatsby'.

Teen Vogue, an American teenage magazine, reported this through an article titled "BTS member V reproduces the 'Gatsby meme' in Pickboy's 'Korean Hairstyle' music video."

V appeared as a cameo in the music video for Peakboy's new digital single 'Kyopo Head', which was released on the 25th, and showed off his strong presence as a scene-stealer with a comical expression and acting.

He showed strong support and friendship by participating in the music video, a close friend gathering, with Park Seo-Joon, Choi Woo-Shik, and Park Hyung-sik, a close friend of the Wooga Family. The music video for 'Kyopo Head' surpassed 1 million views within 4 hours of its release and is currently enjoying great popularity with 3 million views.

In the music video, V appeared as a waiter in a purple suit and tie. From the back up the stairs, V holding a glass and looking at the camera with a smile was reminiscent of a scene from the movie 'The Great Gatsby'.

The appearance of V making a toast was reminiscent of DiCaprio making a strange expression after introducing himself as 'Gatsby' to Nick Carraway, the narrator in the movie 'The Great Gatsby'.

F Scott Fitzgerald's original 'The Great Gatsby' has been produced four times only as a movie, but V's birth as a 'Gatsby meme' is the fourth Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio, released in 2013.

The expression and gesture of V holding cocktail glass with a relaxed expression reminded him of DiCaprio, who made a strange expression after introducing himself to the movie narrator Nick Carraway as 'Gatsby'.

Not only that but there were also reactions that it resembled Song Joong-ki holding a cocktail glass in Netflix's popular K-drama Vincenzo.
