BTS's V Embraces Running, Shares Heartwarming Fan Interactions

BTS member V has been sharing his recent passion for running, engaging in special interactions with fans.

V first sparked interest in running during a live broadcast in late August, where he proposed conditions for joining the 'ARMY Running Crew.' These conditions, humorously yet seriously presented, included rules like 'No pretending to know me,' 'Focus on running instead of talking,' 'No overtaking,' and 'No statements like "BTS disappoints."' This unique approach garnered positive responses from fans.

Recently, V posted a photo on his Instagram story after completing a 10km run along the Han River. Even without makeup, he showcased his radiant visuals, impressing fans with his composure even after the strenuous run.

He has consistently updated fans about his running journey through the fan community platform Weverse. V shared, 'I ran even on rainy days,' adding, 'I used to dislike running, but now my body fat is under 10%, showing significant progress.' He emphasized the importance of self-management. When fans asked if he had ever met any ARMYs while running, V responded, 'I've met so many, but I'm grateful they all politely pretended not to see me.' He expressed his gratitude for his fans' consideration, adding warmth through these positive interactions centered around running.

V's stage name, derived from the word 'victory,' reflects his aspirations. He is known for his captivating visuals and deep, resonant vocal tone, contributing significantly to BTS's performances as a sub-vocalist and lead dancer. His solo album 'Layover' further highlighted his distinct musical identity, solidifying his success as a solo artist.
