Recently, V delighted ARMYs when he revealed his habit of going for runs around the Han River three times a week between 8 and 9 PM. The idol even openly suggested that ARMYs could join him — but under a few ground rules, such as: “Don’t talk to us, just run alongside,” “When running, just signal to let us know you’re ARMY, but don’t do silly things (criticizing, etc.),” “Don’t take pictures of us when we’re drooling,” and “Don’t stop running and start walking.”

Right after this revelation, V actually ran into some ARMYs during his runs. They truly respected the rules he set to the point that he was extremely satisfied, even leaving positive feedback on Weverse. He went as far as saying he was considering giving gifts to fans he randomly encounters on future runs.

“Next time I meet them, I should repay/give them a gift or soмєтнing. Thanks to their consideration and politeness, I’ve been going to the mountain a lot... ARMYs have been so gentle and polite with me it’s not even a joke. If they ever run into me they don’t even talk to me, they give me my own space, they don’t even run alongside me… I absolutely loved it and found it funny and super nice,” he shared, making the fandom even more overjoyed.

However, not everyone could laugh! One ARMY ended up “crying the loudest” after V’s running event due to an ironic twist of fate.

According to her story, she had traveled all the way to Seoul with the hope of bumping into V at the Han River. Although she wasn’t the athletic type, her admiration for him pushed her to keep running for three whole hours. For her, this was an unprecedented record, since on a normal day she would find even a 10-minute walk exhausting.

But after three hours without encountering him, she decided to stop, thinking it wasn’t one of V’s jogging days. She headed back, showered, and was ready to rest. At that exact moment, her phone lit up with a notification: V had just posted a new Instagram story — some clips of him running at the Han River.

That day, V had impressively completed a 10 km (about 6.2 miles) run, leaving netizens in αωє of how flawless he looked even drenched in sweat. A handsome guy ran such a long distance for so long, yet she didn’t even catch a glimpse of his shadow. What a pity!

And the rest of the story? A phone call filled with frustration, as the ARMY vented to her friend about her rotten luck. She was practically wailing and even blurted out “sh*bal (f*ck),” showing just how upset she was. But of course, it wasn’t her fault, nor V’s — it was simply fate not being on her side!

Even funnier, her friends who witnessed her “meltdown” recorded it and couldn’t stop laughing, finding her helpless frustration both endearing and hilarious at the same time.

The story quickly spread within the fandom community. Many ARMYs sympathized deeply with her, but at the same time couldn’t hold back their laughter, consoling her that at least her “consolation prize” after three hours of effort was seeing V appear on his story:

- V makes her healthier at least. Her blessings just aren’t strong enough and her fate just isn’t aligned yet… absolutely tragi

- That "sh*bal"...felt that. She’s drying her hair and I just feel sorry for the hair =)))) And that laugh… it’s contagious, I laughed too

- Hahahhaha this is funny!! I can relate haha. Good luck next time

- At least this way fans are gonna be healthy, good job Kim Taehyung and poor her

- Next time, anyone who wants to meet him will probably have to run all night. Anyway, let’s give a round of applause for her 3-hour running effort

- She might cry until tomorrow morning and still not be over it. Right person, wrong timing, girl.

- Right person, wrong timing… Her reaction is legendary

- Not V rejecting her, but destiny itself… poor sis deserves a medal

- The way she blurted out shibal—I felt the pain but also couldn’t stop laughing

- She trained like an athlete for 3 hours only to unlock her villain arc in the shower
