BTS has been together for more than a decade and of course, no one can doubt their beautiful friendship. The friendship between j-hope and V is no exception!

j-hope and V don't appear together or show fans how close they are regularly but through small details, fans realize that they are truly great brothers. In particular, recently, j-hope's special gift on livestream once again affirmed his friendship with V.

If you missed this detail, the article below will help you remember:

In BTS, there are friendships that are often mentioned such as hyung line, maknae line, Vkook, Jikook, SOPE, NamJin, Vmin... That doesn't mean that the other members' closeness to each other is small. Up to now, it can be said that the 7 members of the group are no different from brothers and their friendship for each other is the same.

The friendship between j-hope and V is no less than any other friendship and the two have always shown a strong bond through many memorable moments. Every time they appear together, the two always bring fans warm, happy and laughter-filled moments. Fans are also very excited about the way they silently show their care and love for each other.

Recently, during a live stream celebrating j-hope's birthday with ARMYs on the Weverse platform, fans once again witnessed the admirable friendship between the two. Specifically, while fans were happily sending birthday wishes to the male rapper, a small but meaningful gift attracted attention: a stuffed flamingo was neatly hung on the wall in Hope World studio.

Longtime BTS fans quickly realized that this flamingo was not a random decoration, but a valuable keepsake. Accordingly, this is the gift that V gave to j-hope during the third season of the reality show "Bon Voyage" in Malta in 2018. After 7 years, this gift is still kept solemnly in j-hope's room, showing how much he cherishes his friendship with V.

Meanwhile, for many ARMYs who don't remember, the story of the stuffed flamingo began when j-hope α¢¢ι∂єитally revealed that he had never seen a flamingo in real life before. Upon hearing that, V decided to surprise his brother by winning a stuffed flamingo in a game at the festival.

What's special is that V didn't hesitate to try again and again, spending almost all of his money just to make sure that the male singer could bring this gift back to j-hope. Finally, after many attempts, V succeeded and brought the flamingo back to give to his brother. When receiving this gift from V, j-hope was extremely surprised, hugging the stuffed animal tightly with a bright smile, clearly showing his emotion. Not only did j-hope keep the gift with him, but he also gave the flamingo a special name, "Manggae".

The presence of "Manggae" in j-hope's live stream in 2025 is a testament to the fact that, despite the pαѕѕage of time, the friendship between j-hope and V has not changed at all. Notably, this flamingo stuffed animal was not just hung up by j-hope, but in previous live broadcasts, fans have also seen the presence of this precious item.
