This marks the first instance of V spending his birthday away from his family due to his commitments to military service. Nevertheless, V managed to captivate and delight his ardent fan base, the BTS Army, with a touching surprise. A pre-recorded video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the official BTS account, captures V gracefully strolling through the streets, adorned in a stylish black ensemble complemented by a polka-dotted mauve muffler wrapped around his neck. In the video, he warmly declares, “Hello. Today is my birthday,” expressing his heartfelt gratitude to fans. The accompanying hashtags suggest that this was a meticulously crafted “present” prepared in advance to bring joy to the hearts of the BTS Army.
The emotional impact of V’s surprise reverberated across various social media platforms, serving as a testament to the profound connection between the artist and his devoted fan base. As V is presently unable to express his thanks to admirers in person due to military service, the pre-recorded video serves as a poignant bridge, connecting him intimately with the BTS Army during this special occasion.
