BTS are now clearly among the world’s top K-pop superstars, some of the most watched and talked-about public figures today. And the more famous an idol becomes, the more their everyday life is scrutinized and their privacy becomes vulnerable. The troubling part is that it's not only the idols themselves— even their family members, who are not part of the entertainment industry, often become targets of public attention.

In K-pop, there have been numerous cases where netizens and fans direct their intrusive curiosity or even harαѕѕment not only at idols but also at their parents, siblings, friends, and relatives. This is why the BTS members have, for many years, taken various measures to keep information about their families private and avoid mentioning them too often, out of concern that their loved ones’ private lives might be affected by the media or malicious individuals.

However, this does not mean they hide their families completely. There are moments when they simply cannot help but share warm stories or glimpses of their happy family lives with fans. For true fans, such moments are precious opportunities to better understand who their idols are and the family relationships that shaped them.

On November 30, in a vlog titled “V’s VLOG in Los Angeles,” Taehyung shared a humorous yet heartwarming story about an interaction between him and his father. The story υиєχρє¢тє∂ly went viral on social media afterward, becoming a trending topic and receiving tremendous love from netizens.

The moment took place while the idol was enjoying a meal in the airport lounge before flying back to кσяєα. He suddenly burst into laughter while checking his phone and explained to the staff around him: “My dad sent me a photo of some shoes. I asked, ‘Why? Do you want them?’ and he replied, ‘Yes.’”

His father’s adorably straightforward response made the staff laugh along with him. V even showed the message exchange to the camera. The highlight was how he ended the conversation by replying to his father as a “young and rich son”: “Take it, then.”

This short exchange perfectly highlighted the natural, playful bond between the superstar and his father. Fans were completely charmed by V’s simple, down-to-earth warmth. The 27-second clip quickly went viral, gaining over 3.5 million views. An article by K-media praising V as a dutiful son based on this moment even trended on Naver with nearly 360,000 views, and continued trending more than 24 hours after publication.

Fans and netizens who witnessed the moment were both amazed and envious of V’s father. Some of the humorous and heartfelt comments included:
