BTS' V has made a heartfelt request to fans to respect the privacy of BTS members while the group continues its world tour and overseas schedules.
On July 1, V shared a message through the fan platform Weverse after fans gathered outside the hotel where he was staying in Paris during Paris Men's Fashion Week activities and the group's European tour schedule.
While expressing gratitude for fans' warm support, the singer asked them not to wait outside hotels or share information about the members' locations.
"I'm truly grateful that you welcome us so warmly, but if possible, I'd appreciate it if you could refrain from coming to the hotels," V wrote.
According to AllKPop, he added that the situation was affecting his condition and rest while traveling.
"I also don't want to share where we're staying, and it affects our condition for the performances," he explained.
"While we're on tour, the time we get to try local restaurants, walk around, and comfortably enjoy each country is incredibly precious."
V also shared a screenshot from his sleep tracker, revealing that he had only slept for two hours and 27 minutes.
The image showed limited deep sleep and REM sleep, highlighting how little rest he had been getting during the busy schedule.
The singer's message quickly gained attention online as many fans expressed support for his request and encouraged others to respect personal boundaries.

The situation comes shortly after BigHit Music repeated its strict policy against stalking, trespassing, and invasions of privacy involving BTS members.
In a statement released on June 29, the agency said it continues to take legal action against people who cross personal boundaries, MB reported.
The company stated that waiting around artists' residences or accommodations, leaving gifts, or following them in private spaces are not acts of support but criminal behavior.
BigHit Music also warned that both Korean and foreign offenders could face legal punishment, deportation, and possible bans from entering South Korea.
This is not the first time BTS members have spoken openly about privacy concerns.
Earlier this year, Jungkook addressed fans after people reportedly gathered near his home following a running event in Seoul.
Meanwhile, BTS recently began the European leg of its "BTS World Tour 'ARIRANG'" in Madrid, Spain. The group is scheduled to perform in several cities, including Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris.
Despite the ongoing tour, BTS continues to perform strongly on global music charts. Their latest album, "ARIRANG," remained inside the Billboard 200 Top 10 for 12 weeks, while the title track "SWIM" extended its run on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
