Fans who have followed V since BTS' debut days are well aware that he has always been proud of his father and enjoys talking about him. V has never hesitated to admit that, to him, his father is his "childhood hero."
He once shared: “Like I’ve always said, my hero is my dad. There’s always this moment where you say ‘wow’ and even the smallest actions seem cool. I was raised by my grandma and my dad came home on the weekends. There was this coin box in the car that was used to pay at the tollgate and my dad would grab a bunch of coins and give them to me. At that young age, I thought ‘my dad is the best!’. It’s all because of my dad’s support that I am here today.”
Not only has V repeatedly expressed his admiration for his father's personality, mindset, and parenting style, but he has also regarded him as the ideal role model he has always wanted to follow. He has openly shared that he hopes to become a father like his own someday.
Although V spends most of the time admiring his father like a hero, he also occasionally shows his playful side by teasing him a little, reflecting the close bond they share. The latest example came during BTS' first concert in Munich!
During the concert's ending ment, Jin shared a heartwarming personal story about his father. He revealed: "Previously, my father used to work at a G͜͡E͜͡R͜͡M͜͡A͜͡N͜͡company for about 30-40 years. So he practically lived in Germany for a month or two every year because of work." When he learned that his son would be performing in Germany, he became very excited and kept asking Jin whether he had tried Schweinshaxe or Germany's famous one-liter beer, even though he is usually not someone who openly expresses his emotions.
Immediately afterward, when it was his turn to speak, V υиєχρє¢тє∂ly continued Jin's story in a way no one saw coming. He jokingly said: "Earlier, Jin Hyung mentioned that his dad worked for a G͜͡E͜͡R͜͡M͜͡A͜͡N͜͡company for about 30 or 40 years. My dad, on the other hand, loved G͜͡E͜͡R͜͡M͜͡A͜͡N͜͡snacks for 30 or 40 years. I don't actually know what kind of G͜͡E͜͡R͜͡M͜͡A͜͡N͜͡snacks they were, but he really seemed to love them."
V's charming "his dad versus my dad" comparison instantly sent both the members and the au∂ιєnce into laughter. Cameras captured Jin and RM laughing so hard that they could not stop smiling, while the other members were equally amused by V's υиєχρє¢тє∂ joke. What fans found even funnier was that V himself remained completely straight-faced, as if he had just delivered an entirely serious story.
After making everyone laugh, V casually transitioned into sharing his sincere thoughts about the tour. He said that he honestly had no idea Munich was such an amazing city. Spending time there had been incredibly healing, allowing him to relax and recharge after the group's busy schedule. Before thanking Munich ARMY, the singer humorously revealed that he planned to end the night by eating Schweinshaxe before going to sleep.
Although V jokingly "dissed" his father in such a humorous way, fans understood that it was also his unique way of expressing his deep affection for him. In reality, V's father used to run a small business in Daegu when he was younger and worked tirelessly to provide for the family. Although he and V's mother could not always be by their son's side, they did everything they could to support his dream. V previously revealed that during his trainee days, his parents once drove for 12 hours just to spend about 30 minutes with him, bringing plenty of bread and banana milk to share with the other BTS members.
Rather than diminishing the respect V has for his father, his humorous "diss" in Munich only made fans appreciate even more the close, comfortable, and loving relationship between the two. For fans who have followed V for many years, this is simply Kim Taehyung's signature way of showing affection to the people he loves the most.
As the moment quickly went viral across social media, fans flooded the comment section: "Both Taehyung and his dad are so funny. They're so close cos Tmthe way he disses his dad", "the whole stadium just cracking tf up. TAEHYUNG NEVER CHANGE", "he is the funniest person alive I am so sorry no one can outdo him", "How he always cracks jokes with straight face", "Tae never fails to crack me up!!!!!", "Coming up with such a cute bit of humor on the spot like that is so clever", "jin laughing beside tae and tae say it with straight face is so on brand",...
