Just when we thought we couldn’t adore BTS’ V anymore, he proved to ARMYs once again how much of a gentle and kindhearted person he is. And now, supporters all over the world couldn’t help but wish they’re in the shoes of their co-fan Kim Hayoung. 

 

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. 

 

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. 

 

To cheer Hayoung up, V spent the whole day with her. They ate delicious meal, played video games, competed at the arcade, and took pictures at the photobooth. 

 

“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. 

 

During the show, V also gave sweet messages for Hayoung. “Thank you for loving me. Don’t have a hard time, stay healthy, and don’t get sick. I hope you always have good things and have good days,” he said. 

Praises for V 

Following the airing of the episode, fans couldn’t help but praise V for this heartwarming moment with Hayoung. 

Several were pointing out how the interaction showed how genuine and caring he is as an idol. 

Meanwhile, other fans were jokingly expressing their envy at how lucky Hayoung is. 

 

But the bond between the idol and the fan didn’t stop when the filming for the episode ended. 

After the episode aired, V took to his own personal social media account to share an update about Hayoung. Based on his post, the student passed her exams successfully, joking that she’s a real ARMY now. 

 

The Dingo Story guesting is just one of V’s promotional activities for his upcoming solo album Layover. 

Set for a September 8 release, Layover will have a total of six songs, with“Slow Dancing” being the title track.  

Ahead of the album’s release, V already dropped the music videos for tracks “Love Me Again” and “Rainy Days.” Additionally, V also released his three older solo songs on streaming platforms.

Aside from Dingo Story, V is also confirmed to guest on You Quiz on the Block, Running Man, among others.

Kim Taehyung, also known as BTS V, has been the talk of the town for his highly-anticipated solo debut. However, his recent encounter with fans is making headlines for an alarming reason. 

On Wednesday, August 23, the idol was visiting the newly-renovated flagship store of CELINE in Tokyo, Japan. V is known to be one of the brand’s fashion ambassadors, alongside Park Bogum and BLACKPINK’s Lisa.

For the event, the idol was sporting a denim jacket and form-fitting leather pants. 

After his visit to the store, V was seen waving enthusiastically to the crowd that formed who went there just to catch a glimpse of him. Based on the videos by fans, the artist was smiling and waving to ARMYs around the area. 

 

Unfortunately, the crowd’s enthusiasm got a bit out of a control, with some even pushing each other. In the middle of the commotion, one unnamed fan grabbed V’s hair in excitement while he was trying to enter the vehicle. 

Luckily, the singer was able to escape the hold and was quickly escorted by the security to leave the area. 

ARMYs reminder to fans 

Videos of the incident circulated on social media, with several ARMYs reprimanding the fan’s behavior. 

“Please don’t do this ever again,” another fan wrote. “Trying to grab Taehyung’s hair is never okay. You can tell he is so happy seeing his fans but keep it respectful. 

Another wrote: “This is disgusting behavior. Idols also deserve personal space and respect. This is never okay.” 

“Not only are you losers mobbing him and creating an unsafe environment, but now you’re touching him without his consent,” a different user said.

Aside from calling out the rude behavior, ARMYs also urged their fellow fans to be on their best behavior every time they meet BTS members in public. 

Moreover, some fans are also calling for a tighter security for BTS especially when they’re in public. 

 

Layover of BTS V
