Fans who have followed V since his debut days surely know that he has always been proud of and loved talking about his father. V has never hesitated to admit that, to him, his father is his “childhood hero”, someone who stood by him through the toughest times and served as a solid pillar, giving him valuable advice to grow his career into becoming one of today’s top K-pop stars.

He 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 that, V often expresses admiration for his father’s personality, mindset, and the way he raised his children as an ideal role model. That admiration is so deep that he openly admits he is striving to learn from him, and that one day he wants to become a father in his own small family just like his dad.

However, it wasn’t until V’s story was shared by the host of MBC Radio that ARMYs truly understood just how much of a “mirror image” he is of his father. The idol didn’t just inherit his father’s character and lifestyle, but also his wholesome personal hobbies.

Specifically, in the latest episode of MBC Radio Star, host Kim Gu-ra revealed that V’s father lives in the same neighborhood as him, and his youngest son once received an allowance from V’s dad.

Upon hearing this, comedian Kim Gook-jin also υиєχρє¢тє∂ly revealed his friendship with V’s father, adding praise: “V’s father is really good at golf.”

From there, ARMYs realized why V once spent time learning golf and was often spotted playing with the Wooga Squad or with other celebrity actors. Today, golf has become one of his favorite sports, and he is known to be highly sкιℓℓed at it.

Previously, V also shared with ARMYs about how much his father loves this sport. The idol even showed a message with a cute picture of his dad posing at the golf course. Perhaps V was inspired by his father and it's also possible that he wanted to learn golf in order to play together with him.

On the other hand, fans also noticed how the hosts—who are friends with V’s father in the same neighborhood—described him as a kind and well-loved person. Meanwhile, V has been nicknamed a “social butterfly” for his wide circle of celebrity friends and for always being praised for his kind personality.

V was raised by a good father, and that has shaped the goodness in him. As V once mentioned, his father is the role model he wants to follow—but in truth, he is the “younger version” of his dad, which only deepens their bond.

Fans were deeply touched upon seeing all of this:
