Among the members of BTS, V seems to be known as the one whose circle of friends includes the greatest number of celebrities. Besides his close friends in the Wooga Squad, Park Bogum, IU…, choreographer Lee Jung is one of the friends who has appeared with him on social media multiple times.
Lee Jung Lee, born in 1998, is famous among fans as an accomplished South кσяєαn dancer and choreographer signed to The Black Label. She came into the spotlight when she became the youngest female member to join “Just Jerk” and drew much attention after appearing on the program Street Woman Fighter in 2021.
Recently, she also participated in World of Street Woman Fighter (which concluded on the 22nd) as the representative кσяєαn crew member and proudly took home the final championship.
She is also the creator of many viral choreographies, notably in “Smoke”, and she won Best Choreographer of the Year at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards for the “Pink Venom” choreography. Another talented and famous friend of V who amazes ARMYs!
While fans enjoyed the times they performed dance challenges together on social media, recently the female dancer gave them a deeper insight into their wonderful friendship through an interview after the final episode of Mnet’s World of Street Woman Fighter, on July 24.
Lee stated that a shared love of dance laid a strong foundation for their friendship. “We’re connected through dance. He loves dance just as much as I do, and that creates a real connection between us. We have great synergy when we meet. He’s someone I genuinely look up to — a true role model for me,” she said.
Not stopping there, the female dancer also described V in detail — someone she considers humble, hardworking, and deeply inspiring, helping her maintain her artistic performance without compromise.
She continued: “For me, dance is my profession, so of course I devote myself fully to it. But for him, dance is just one part of his profession — he also has to sing and do many other things — yet he still genuinely loves dance as much as I do. And he’s really humble and works even harder than I do. Watching him makes me feel like I can’t afford to make compromises. If he works that hard, then since it's my profession, I have to work even harder. He's someone who gives me tremendous energy."
As Lee mentioned, V does not dance by instinct or by the demands of his career but considers it a pαѕѕion. Therefore, through every dance move of his, one can fully feel his energy and genuine emotion. Taehyung’s dedication to his craft has earned him admiration from both fans and fellow artists, inspiring a new generation of idols.
Fans expressed their emotions as they listened to Lee’s sharing about V, her close friend as well as her ideal role model:
- Love how people who know him personally only has good things to say. Meanwhile people who never met him and are bitter of his popularity & success, are the ones who have a lot of sh*t to say

Meanwhile, the three previous collaborations between Lee and V delivered explosive chemistry that made fans love their friendship. The first challenge was filmed during Taehyung’s leave last year, featuring the song “What’s Your Fantasy (feat. Shawnna)”.
