Tata Is So Popular Like His Papa Taehyung – Kim Taehyung’s Impact | Fanboy Moments Are Endearing 🥹
If we talk about BTS V, one of the things that comes to fans' minds is Tata, a character from
BT21 that was created by Kim Taehyung in collaboration between BTS with Line Friends.
For information, Taehyung used to draw a stick man with a heart-shaped head before creating Tata.
That's why Jimin said that Taehyung drew this character all the time.
Thanks to this collaboration, we were able to bring Tata, born from Taehyung's imagination,
to life and turn it into a wide range of merchandise.
And as usual, everything related to Taehyung is easily sold out. Like recently,
Celine's Reptile Perfume, used by Kim Taehyung, has sold out in multiple countries,
so with all other things that Taehyung uses or wears.
So it's no surprise if Tata-themed merchandise is selling out fast, and loved by many.
Comedia even reported that BT21 character Tata, designed by BTS V, boasts global popularity as
it made a surprise appearance in many places, attracting fans around the world.
Much like Taehyung and ARMY's affection for Tata, several celebrities have also expressed their
fondness, as they are often spotted with Tata merch or mentioning it in interviews.
So let's take a look at who they are.
First up, Park Jihoon. The former Wanna One member-turned-actor has been spotted
multiple times with Tata merch. He posted a video wearing a Tata shirt.
And just like Kim Taehyung, who loves to pose like this with a Tata plushie,
Park Jihoon has been caught doing the same. The plushie was actually a gift from a fan
at his fan meeting, since Jihoon is known to be a big fan of Taehyung.
So, Jihoon is a longtime fanboy of Taehyung,
frequently referring to him as his role model in interviews.
And it's really cute to see Jihoon was always so starstruck whenever Taehyung is around him,
but not close enough to interact. Jihoon's reactions are always adorably loyal and full
of awe. Jihoon kept staring at Taehyung, but he's so shy. Since both of them are idols,
they often attended the same events. And look at Jihoon's reaction every time Taehyung is shown
on screen. When Taehyung was the center, Jihoon never failed to blush. He's really the cutest
fanboy ever. His reaction is always on point. After being such an obvious fanboy, Taehyung
started to notice him. Their very first interaction on screen was at the 2018 Seoul Music Awards,
when Taehyung was seen shaking Jihoon's hand after BTS won the Daesang.
And when Taehyung was asked about Park Jihoon, he said that they already met,
and he talked to him to play games together.
Park Jihoon is literally the most successful fanboy ever. Not only that Taehyung began to
the MGA MBC Plus X Genie Awards 2018. They were even seen waving together side by side.
And they reunited again at 2018 MAMA in Japan, where it's so iconic to see they
too have the same hair color. Taehyung was the one who approached Jihoon and even insisted on a hug.
Taehyung even dragged Jihoon around to chat with EXO's Baekhyun.
It's truly heartwarming to see Taehyung and Jihoon interact at every music event.
From Taehyung held Jihoon's hand as he went up to the stage to receive his award,
Jihoon turned back to greet Taehyung. Jihoon queering proudly for Taehyung.
And Jihoon turned back to looked at Taehyung, and Taehyung touched Jihoon's shoulder.
Jihoon once also mentioned that he and Taehyung had grown closer through their
shared love of playing games together, and using headsets to communicate during gameplay.
Moving on, the next idol who treasures Tata is Younghoon from The Boyz.
He even shared that he takes a Tata plushie with him everywhere,
because it was a gift from BTS's V.
He made a similar pose, and he didn't lie when he said he brought Tata with him everywhere.
He really treasures it that much.
Younghoon was also once seen wearing a Tata hair tie while holding a photo card of Taehyung.
Younghoon is really just like all of us.
And just like Park Jihoon, he looks up to Kim Taehyung as his ultimate role model,
and his reaction to meeting Taehyung is always priceless.
Younghoon has often spoken about BTS V as his ultimate role model.
And when Younghoon had a chance to be in the same room as Taehyung,
he couldn't stop stealing glances at him.
He's totally whipped for Taehyung.
And honestly, who can blame him?
And when he finally got the chance to take a photo next to Taehyung,
his reaction afterward absolutely sent me.
We're also happy to know that Younghoon managed to have a chat with his idol.
Well, Taehyung has always had a way of making everyone feel included,
including his fanboys.
The next idol spotted with Tata is TXT's Yeonjun,
who was seen wearing a Tata head plushie during a fan signing event.
In general, all members of TXT have been seen to have close relationships with BTS members,
since they come from the same agency.
But for Taehyung and Yeonjun, many fans point out more of their similarities,
especially when they have the same hair color.
But that's not all. They were also seen making the same expression.
And they both happen to have their elephant moles.
Next, there's Kiho, a Korean-Canadian singer under FNC Entertainment,
who is also the leader of the boy group P1Harmony.
He once shared his skincare routine while wearing a Tata headband.
You can tell, face wash or two. This is me doing my skincare, and now I'm ready.
Tata continues to show its popularity not only in Korea, but globally,
as many celebrities around the world have been seen flaunting their Tata merch.
Let's say there's Mew Suppasit, a famous Thai actor who was seen
drinking from BT21 Tata Tumblr on Instagram Stories.
He's also known to be Kim Taehyung's fanboy,
like recommending BTS V's song Sweet Night to fans,
and even posted a cover of Sweet Night on his social media.
And he's not the only fanboy from Thailand.
There's also Tae Tawan Vihokratana, aka Tawan V, a well-known Thai actor, model, and host.
After watching BTS' Dynamite MV, he wanted to know who the guy in the green suit was,
and said Taehyung's expressions and dancing were amazing.
Later on, he posted photos of his Tata collection and Tiny Tan Taehyung merch.
And yep, he followed Taehyung on Instagram too.
The way Taehyung keeps catching the attention of Thai actors is honestly something else.
Another Thai actor, New Year Kittihut Sawutdimalin,
was also seen wearing Tata pajamas on Instagram.
He even shared a video challenge with his boyfriend while he was wearing the Tata pajama set.
It's not only Thailand. More celebrities and influencers from
different countries have also been seen wearing Tata merch,
including Sakura Kawaiwai, a professional Japanese golfer and Taehyung's bias.
Tata was spotted in Sakura's room on a sports TV show.
Anyway, when it comes to Taehyung's Japanese fans, there are so many.
I mean, Japan is even nicknamed Taitei Land for a reason.
That's because of the huge number of fans he has there, including celebrities.
