Over the years, fans have seen the close friendship between IU and many members of BTS such as SUGA, V, j-hope, except for Jungkook, who is her big fan! Just kidding!
So, on this day, many ARMYs also sent their 32nd birthday wishes to the legendary Kpop solo artist. In particular, many hours ago, fans went crazy when they learned that one of the BTS members also celebrated her birthday with her despite being in the army.
Specifically, the news that V was discovered to be celebrating his birthday with IU spread, causing public interest to increase.
On the 15th, an eyewitness account and photos of V and IU at the restaurant 'Mosu' in Anseongjae, Seoul were posted on an online community. The photo shows a person believed to be V sitting at the same table with a woman.
Although the woman's face is not visible, she is seen wearing a baseball cap and a plaid shirt.
Fans are considering the possibility that the woman in the photo is IU because the beanie and plaid shirt she is wearing are items IU often wears. In particular, since the 16th is also IU's birthday, there is speculation that the two had a meal together to celebrate her birthday.
Previously, IU celebrated her birthday with a live stream on May 15, KST, and wore the same outfit as the person in the photo with V. Therefore, fans are even more convinced of the theory that V attended IU's birthday party and was surprised by the presence of the BTS superstar in the final stages of his military service.
However, fans are loving their good friendship even more:
- taehyung celebrated IU's birthday they r bffs
- They so comfortable with each other. Love their relationship
- the fact he took a day off to celebrate it with her. i didn’t realize they were this close. im loving this friendship
- peak bestie activities i love it
- This reminds me of him going out to eat with actress Ha Ji Won, he's really a social butterfly
- Oh my love how I love their relationship
- IU is one of taehyung’s friends we saw the most during his enlistment time with him they are so cute
Previously, V made a splash when he appeared in IU's new music video 'Love Wins All' last January before his military enlistment. V revealed the reason for his appearance, saying that he received direct contact from IU at the time, listened to her music first, and "I thought I would regret not appearing because that's my style."
IU also expressed her deep gratitude to V in a behind-the-scenes video of the music video. She said at that time, "V is also up to his ears. He has only a week to enlist in the military. It’s a ridiculous schedule, but luckily, we were able to work the schedule and thankfully it got to take place” and "I think I'm using all the fortune I got from having kind friends on this album. I got so fortunate so I was a bit surprised, and it gave me a lot of energy".
Regarding V's male lead role, IU added, "I was talking with Director Uhm Tae-hwa and we were discussing about the male lead. He has to possess the mood of a young boy. However, he must give off a very cool and reliable feeling after the transformation. Then, by chance, around that time, I needed to contact V about something. I sent him the music first and he loved the music. He listened to ‘Love Wins All’ and happily decided to star in the MV. Isn’t it such a special, symbolic casting".
The two are known to have maintained a friendship through work, and last September, it was revealed that V visited IU's performance stage despite being in the military, deepening their friendship.
Once again this year, V showed his sincerity by taking the time to celebrate the artist's 32nd birthday while in the military!
