V is praised by ARMYs as a social butterfly because his circle of friends includes many famous people in the кσяєαn idol and actor world. One of V's friendships that fans may not know much about is his friendship with SNSD's Tiffany.
In an overseas interview many years ago, V once showed how big a fan he was of SNSD by calling the group as "The best Kpop group". He and Jin also proved that they were "SONEs" when they said that the first album they bought with their own money was SNSD's.
Later, many opportunities and fates helped V and Tiffany's friendship grow, although it was quiet for many years. Recently, through a conversation on the Boogle Boogle show with musical actress Jeong Seon Ah, Tiffany mentioned their friendship and a small mistake when meeting V again after a long time.
The SNSD member started by mentioning that many guests, including V, had seen Jeong Sun Ah's musical Chicago. They called him 'The World Star' who came to the show and she asked the actress to share her story.
In response, Jeong Seon Ah said that she was told that V had bought a ticket to the show and was with Park Hyo Shin. But at that time, she mistook V for Rain.
The reason for this confusion is because кσяєαn singer-songwriter Rain is also known as "Bi". This word in Korea has a similar pronunciation to Taehyung's stage name 'V'.
Tiffany replied that this could have happened because there is a generation gap between Jeong Seon Ah and Kim Taehyung. She further clarified her statement by mentioning that she thought the same thing at first. However when she found out that the person coming was V, she felt like she was seeing her younger brother again.
"No, it's the same for me. When I hear V, I think RAIN is coming. So when they said V is coming, he's like a little brother to me", she said.
Continuing, while Jeong Seon Ah praised V's handsomeness, Tiffany also added the reason why V likes to watch the musical Chicago. She concluded: "Since he has a lot of group activities, he probably enjoyed watching "Chicago" and since he is used to performing on stage with the harmony of a group of musicians in team activities", showing the understanding between the two idols.
On the other hand, this is not the first time Tiffany mentioned V as a "younger brother" in a conversation. In 2018, Tiffany shared about her good friendship with superstar BTS in an interview with Billboad.
Tiffany said that she was happy to see BTS becoming more and more famous and achieving many successes, especially BTS's historic achievement on the Billboard 200 chart (at that time).
She even personally contacted V to congratulate her junior on the group's achievement, saying: "I know V so when I see the group's interviews and videos, I knew I had to congratulate him and I texted: 'Congratulations, I hope you and the members enjoy this. It's so nice to see this happen to you.'"
She continued: "You know, I feel proud. I feel like a proud older sister because I remember introducing one of BTS songs when they first debuted. So congratulations, and I'm also very excited to see what's ahead for them, and for Kpop as a whole."
Fans can't help but envy V for becoming the most successful SONE. On the other hand, the friendship between the two idols is also admired and cherished by fans!
