In the midst of the busy schedule of the ARIRANG World Tour, V continues to delight fans by occasionally sharing glimpses of his everyday life on social media. Recently, the idol drew significant attention after posting a short video on his Instagram Story showing himself practicing his golf swing at a golf course in Las Vegas, USA. Interestingly, this is a course that V has visited multiple times since around 2022 whenever he has gone golfing in the city.

Meanwhile, Korean online communities have been buzzing over a viral post praising V's golfing skills. The post read: "BTS’s V uploaded a video of himself practicing his golf swing on his Instagram Story. He already aces the stage and looks even better, and now it seems V is about to conquer golf too! There’s truly nothing V can’t do—his athletic nerves and reflexes are just incredible."

In reality, this is far from the first time V has caught fans' attention with his passion for golf. Over the years, he has frequently shared relaxing moments on the golf course during his downtime. Sometimes he plays alone, sometimes with fellow BTS members, the Wooga Squad, or close friends in the entertainment industry. Golf has seemingly become one of the idol's favorite sports, and he is also known for being remarkably good at it.

Interestingly, V's father appears to have played a major role in inspiring his love for the sport. An unexpected revelation from several well-known hosts on an episode of MBC's Radio Star shed more light on this connection.

Host Kim Gu-ra revealed that V's father lives in the same neighborhood as him, and that his youngest son had even received pocket money from V's father. Shortly afterward, comedian Kim Gook-jin shared that he knew V's father personally and unexpectedly praised him, saying, "V's father is really good at golf."

Previously, V had also spoken to ARMYs about how much his father loves the sport. The idol even posted a message accompanied by an adorable photo of his father posing on a golf course. Because of this, many fans believe that his father was the one who inspired V to take up golf—or perhaps V wanted to learn the sport so that he could enjoy playing alongside him.

On the other hand, fans also noticed how the MCs—who happen to be neighbors and acquaintances of V's father—described him as a kind-hearted and well-liked person. Coincidentally, V himself is often nicknamed a "social butterfly" because of his wide circle of celebrity friends and his reputation for being warm and friendly. It is clear that the idol not only inherited his father's healthy hobbies but also many aspects of his personality and lifestyle!

Fans who have followed V since BTS's debut days certainly know that he has always been proud of his father and enjoys talking about him. V has never hesitated to admit that, to him, his father is his "childhood hero"—the person who stood by his side during difficult times, provided unwavering support, and offered valuable advice that helped him grow into one of today's biggest K-pop stars.

He once shared: “Like I’ve always said, my hero is my dad. There’s always this moment where you say ‘wow’ and even the smallest actions seem cool. I was raised by my grandma and my dad came home on the weekends. There was this coin box in the car that was used to pay at the tollgate and my dad would grab a bunch of coins and give them to me. At that young age, I thought ‘my dad is the best!’. It’s all because of my dad’s support that I am here today.”

Beyond that, V has frequently expressed admiration for his father's character, mindset, and parenting style, viewing him as an ideal role model. His admiration runs so deep that he has openly admitted that he tries to learn from his father and hopes to one day become the kind of father his dad is within a family of his own.

Looking at V's passion for golf, as well as his personality and lifestyle today, it seems that he is not merely following in his father's footsteps—he is truly living as a "younger version" of his father. Fans can't help but admire and cherish the deep bond shared between the idol and his dad:
