On the Thursday, August 31 episode of Dingo Story, V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, surprised the fan Hayoung, who is preparing to become a military officer.
While she initially thought that she was being interviewed about her struggles at school, Hayoung was shocked when the BTS member called her name.

Hayoung and V’s unforgettable day
First, the idol tried to get to know Hayoung better by asking her why she dreams of becoming an army officer. To which she said that it’s because she wanted to do something for her parents and that it’s also a good opportunity overall.
👤: it’s a dream
🐻: then ARMY is a dream.

Then, the student started opening up about her school concerns, disclosing that she previously failed exams. She said that it even reached the point where she almost lost contact with other people.
As way of coping up, she found strength by listening to BTS songs. In turn, V consoled her as he revealed that he also didn’t had many friends.
One of his advice was to just give it time, assuring her that she’ll get along with someone in the future.
Taehyung : I can relate to you so much. There was a time when I didn't have any friends.
I've felt that ppl don't like me, but it's not because I'm not a good person, but over time, you'll definitely get along with someone.TAEHYUNG ON DINGO STORY #DingoStoryWithV

“You really smiled a lot today,” the idol told his fan. “It makes me really feel good too.”
When it was time for them to part ways, Hayoung couldn’t help but shed some tears. Upon seeing her tear up, the singer hugged her and consoled her.
“See you again later,” he promised her.
Hayoung burst into tears after filming, and Taehyung stopped his way and came back,
"Ha Young-a, you can't cry. You are going to be an officer of the country, but how can you shed these tears easily?"
Taehyung hugged her once again.

As I work, I think there are people who get along with me one by one.
