For more than a decade of their career, BTS have been known not only for their music but also for the golden personalities of all the members. They are always approachable, friendly, and kind to everyone they meet—especially to their fans. They are willing to greet, sign autographs, or even take photos with ARMY, even in chance encounters. And of course, V is no exception—in fact, warm interactions with fans have become part of his personal “trademark.”

A recent example was a moment when a fan happened to run into BTS at the airport while heading home earlier this month. In a post that quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of views, the girl excitedly shared that Kim Taehyung had walked up to shake her hand.

“Ran into BTS by chance at the airport when returning home… I even shook hands with Kim Taehyung… Ahhhhhh I’ve never even dreamed of being this lucky. When I got to immigration, I was still rushing to take out my pαѕѕport, planning to hurry through customs and when I looked up, it was Kim Taehyung. He saw me, I waved at him, and he walked over and shook my hand. So unbelievably lucky!! I went through security and immigration standing right behind BTS”, she wrote, unable to hide her excitement.

Even when BTS traveled to Portugal for their recent group schedule, V’s enthusiasm toward ARMY didn’t fade. Recently, another video went viral on social media, telling the story of a lucky fan who got to take a photo with V when he stopped by the café where she works. This simple moment quickly became widely shared, and V once again received a flood of praise for his gestures and visuals.

According to the girl, the encounter happened by chance. While she was working, she saw two guys enter the café with their heads down and immediately recognized one of them as V. The manager ordered two pastéis de nata and two cans of Coke Zero. Although she was very nervous, she didn’t want to bother him or invade his privacy. As V was about to leave, she softly said, “Bye, bye, Tae,” but he didn’t hear her. The manager told him that she had recognized him, and V turned back, smiled, and said, “Ohhh, bye bye, thank you.”

But the story didn’t end there. A while later, when the manager came back to ask for extra napkins, V υиєχρє¢тє∂ly hugged the girl and said, “Thank you so much.” Overwhelmed with emotion, she shared that she had been an ARMY for nine years and would see him at their upcoming concert in Madrid. In response, V thanked her and even offered to take a photo with her. They took a picture, and he thanked her again, smiled, and said goodbye before leaving.

The photo that was later revealed also went viral, showing V’s completely bare face without makeup, yet with clear skin, sharp features, and his signature gentle smile. Fans were especially "jealous" of the lucky fan, as she not only got a close-up selca with him but also had his hand on her shoulder, looking so close. Along with V’s earlier greetings, this nine-year ARMY truly received the greatest gift as a reward for her long journey supporting BTS.

On forums and social media, ARMY expressed their pride in their idol. While many artists may keep their distance for security reasons, V still tries to remain kind and approachable within reasonable limits. With BTS—and V—in this way, it’s impossible for fans not to stay loyal to the fandom. Furthermore, many fans believe this serves as a powerful example of why we should deepen our respect for an idol's privacy. And who knows? That very respect of yours might just reward you with an equally υиєχρє¢тє∂ and wonderful gift:

- I’m happy that good fortune reached such kind ARMYs… Thanks to her, we were able to see Taehyung too, so I hope she continues to have lots of luck in the future.

- The way she tells the story just makes it even funnier lol. She was so polite, and Taehyung returned the kindness.

- He probably thought, “Wow, she respected me and didn’t even ask for a photo… she wasn’t bothering me at all. I should go back.”

- I really want to understand why people hate him so much :( I love him so much, my God.

- Initially, I thought it is an AI pic… this is one very blessed fan! She was respectful and considerate and was rewarded with the sweetest pic ever! Thank you for making Taehyung happy!

- Taehyung with a fan in Portugal is so heartwarming. His kindness really shines everywhere he goes.

- He’s the nicest person ever bro. It pays to be respectful

- It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet your favorite idols or artists. I’m so happy for her that she was able to capture that moment forever. Taehyung is such a sweetheart.

- when his purest character shines even for just a short, most υиєχρє¢тє∂ encounter - that's KIM TAEHYUNG, the kindest, most humble of all!!!
