On October 14, 2025, BTS member Taehyung (V) gained attention on social media after posting two Instagram stories. In these stories, he showcased his latest collectible set of the KAWS x Sesame Street x AllRightsReserved (ARR) vinyl figure collection. The images revealed the idol’s newly acquired figurines along with his older KAWS figurines.

Many fans noted he could have everything in one place. Fans also began to speculate whether Taehyung was preparing to move into the luxury apartment he bought in early September 2025, a five-bedroom property in Gangnam, Seoul, with high-end interiors.

This influx of interest wasn’t just about Taehyung's personal artistic taste; it was also because the new KAWS x Sesame Street x ARR collection had not yet been officially released.

The global pre-order for the collection begins on October 16, 2025, at 11 AM HKT (October 15, 11 PM EDT) via DDTStore.com. These limited-edition figures will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, with shipping expected to start in late November 2025.

Social media platforms soon flooded with fans speculating about his next move. Many wondered whether he was packing up his belongings to move into his new residence. An X user, @layovermoods, wrote,

Meanwhile, others admired how he keeps showing his interest in art and design. Some joked that he was “flexing” his rare collectibles.
