In the South кσяєαn entertainment industry, journalists and K-pop idols often work closely together, yet there are always certain boundaries and tensions. Journalists are typically seen closely following idols’ activities to provide fast updates.
On the positive side, this helps idols increase their public presence and promote their image and careers. However, the downside is that media pressure can compromise idols’ privacy, sometimes leading to scrutiny or even fueling false rumors.
Therefore, most fans usually witness idols showing respect and politeness toward journalists, such as smiling or exchanging courteous greetings when they meet. But developing a level of closeness akin to friendship is rare—and V is one of the few idols capable of this.
This morning, V arrived at Incheon Airport to depart for fяαи¢є to attend CELINE’s fashion show on October 5 as the global brand ambαѕѕador of the luxury fashion house. Beyond his standout appearance in a simple yet stylish outfit, fans also noticed his positive energy while interacting with journalists on site.
Notably, at one moment when V was surrounded by a crowd of journalists and fans while entering the check-in area, he pulled a journalist who had been focused on filming him closer. This action timely helped the journalist avoid bumping into a nearby pillar or α¢¢ι∂єитally falling.
Afterward, fans also observed the journalist saying a few words that seemed like a thank-you while V kept his attention on those around him to ensure no one was in danger.
Interestingly, ARMYs later discovered that the journalist V αѕѕisted belongs to RNX and has frequently accompanied him to film various events. V is even familiar enough with this journalist to have hugged him in a friendly, almost buddy-like manner during an airport appearance back in July.
This morning, V also subtly noticed a change in this RNX journalist’s hairstyle and asked about it in an adorably considerate way: "Wait, did you dye your hair?"
Moreover, this journalist is not the only one to receive V’s friendly attention. Over the years, the idol has earned immense affection and warm support from journalists and staff from various media outlets, thanks to his sociable and open personality.
He never hesitates to shake hands, give high-fives, answer any charming questions, pose on request for journalists, protect them and always flash a bright, energetic smile in front of their cameras—even when it isn’t required.
V’s friendliness and attentiveness to others have fully won fans’ hearts. This morning’s moment once again highlighted the remarkable personality of the K-pop superstar. On social media, endless praise poured in under posts about him:
