On Thursday morning (June 25), an X user who goes by @lilydaily and runs a phone case brand store online tweeted about BTS V – whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung – buying a tiger skin phone case from her.
Nearly half an hour later, Lily returned to the platform, writing that the star had seen her post and even DM’d her on Instagram.
She also attached a screenshot of their interaction on the social media platform. It was later translated by K-Pop fans on X. Here’s a rough translation of the chat:
V: So you were an ARMY~
Lily: Oh my goodness… Hello! If you surprise me like this, I’m seriously going to cry… I’m truly always rooting for you.
V: I’ll be rooting for you, too~
The tweet has since gone viral on X, with more than 3 million views, 26K likes, and 7.5K retweets. Netizens are swooning over Tae-hyung‘s thoughtful gesture, commenting on it:
“Imagine taehyung dming you…i’d pass out”
The ARMYs filled the comments section with praises and cheers for the Singularity singer:
The tweet comes as the BTS has landed in Spain this week, all set for the next leg of their ARIRANG Tour, with performances scheduled in Madrid’s Riyadh Air Metropolitano for two consecutive nights – June 26 and 27.
The next destination of the BTS is Belgium (July 1 & 2), followed by England (July 6 & 7), Germany (July 11 & 12), and eventually France (July 17 & 18), before wrapping it up for the month. The US leg of the BTS tour will kick off in August.
BTS V defended a friend from the military online
While Tae-hyung’s DM to an ARMY phone case brand owner has made his fans swoon, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, V is known for making such gestures.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Tae-hyung came to the defence of a colleague from his time in the military. The man, named Kim Ki Tae, was a former member of the Special Duty Team in the army and made videos on Instagram.
In one of his videos, Ki Tae spoke about having worked alongside V in the military, sharing memories of the same. While some netizens enjoyed the behind-the-scenes peek into V’s military life, others slammed him for using the star’s name to get attention.
As the criticism rang louder, Tae-hyung was quick to come to Ki Tae’s rescue, posting a lengthy Instagram story. V started by asking him how he was doing, before looking back at the fun they had back in the military days.
He then went on to encourage his friend, suggesting that he shouldn’t take every criticism too heavily and continue to make content that brings him peace. V even called him an absolute ace of their squad and made an inside joke about bench pressing.
