In his message, V thanked fans for continuously showing support but gently asked them to stop visiting their accommodations during tour stops. </p><p>“I’m truly grateful for everyone who comes to support us, but if possible, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t come all the way to the hotel,” he wrote. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/3/27/bts-label-bighit-music-takes-legal-action-against-malicious-attacks-privacy-violations-1957"><strong><u>READ: BTS label BigHit Music takes legal action to protect group from malicious attacks and privacy violations</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Although he expressed appreciation for ARMYs’ enthusiasm, V explained that having fans locate their accommodations can make it difficult for him to fully prepare ahead of performances, especially as the group moves through its packed touring schedule. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DaH-zHAk2IM/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A443728.2000000179%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="889" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>The singer emphasized that privacy while traveling is especially important, sharing that the exposure of where he is staying can affect his ability to properly rest and recharge before stepping onstage. </p><p>Outside performances, V also explained that the limited downtime he gets while touring is something he values deeply, saying simple moments such as exploring cities, going out for food, or simply walking around are rare opportunities for him to enjoy personal time amid his demanding schedule. </p><p>“I hope people won’t come to the hotels anymore. I’d really appreciate your consideration,” he added. </p><div> <img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17831248341031783124988271.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/> </div><div><br/></div><p>To give fans a glimpse of how exhausted he has been, V attached a screenshot from his sleep tracker showing he had only managed to sleep for two hours and 27 minutes. The data also showed a “caution” warning on his sleep stability, with REM (rapid eye movement) sleep recorded at just 21 minutes or 14 percent, while deep sleep was measured at only 37 minutes or 25 percent. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/25/bts-v-and-jungkook-win-3-4-million-in-legal-case-against-a-youtube-channel-operator-1522"><strong><u>READ: BTS’ V and Jungkook win ₱3.4 million in legal case against a YouTube channel operator</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>His message comes as BigHit Music continues intensifying legal action against individuals accused of violating the privacy and safety of BTS members. </p><p>On June 29, the agency released an official statement through Weverse detailing its ongoing legal efforts against malicious online behavior and privacy-related offenses targeting the group. </p><p>“We are continuously taking legal action against illegal activities such as defamation, insults, sexual harassment, and malicious slander that infringe on BTS’s rights,” the company said, as translated by The Chosun Daily.  </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/6/22/bts-rm-named-first-global-ambassador-of-national-museum-of-korea-1625"><strong><u>READ: BTS RM named first global ambassador of National Museum of Korea</u></strong></a><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>The label also provided an update regarding a stalking-related case involving an individual who unlawfully entered an artist’s residence and repeatedly engaged in stalking behavior. </p><p>“A bench warrant was issued for a defendant who intruded into the artists’ residence and repeatedly stalked them.
