BTS (BTS)'s V once again drew attention for his polite demeanor.

Former soccer player Kim Young-kwang shared an anecdote about meeting V on his YouTube channel 'I am Kim Young-kwang.' Kim revealed that while watching BTS perform during the World Cup final halftime show, V approached him to greet him personally.

In the episode titled 'The Team That Deserved to Win | Live Commentary: World Cup Final Spain vs. Argentina,' Kim watched the final alongside former national team soccer player and commentator Kim Geun-hwan and sports caster So Jun-il. The video also included discussions on soccer commentary and the future direction of Korean soccer, as well as coverage of BTS's performance of 'Dynamite' during the halftime show of the 2026 North American World Cup final—the first time a K-pop group had performed at a World Cup final halftime show in history.

When commentator Kim Geun-hwan exclaimed upon seeing the stage, "Wow, V... he's really handsome," Kim Young-kwang recalled, "When you see him in person, he's unbelievably handsome. A fitness gym CEO who is my junior introduced us, and he came to greet me. V..." He continued, explaining the greeting scene: "Someone that famous came up to me and said, 'Hello, Yung-nyong-hyeong-nim.' That's what he did—'Yung-nyong-hyeong-nim, hello...'."

When commentator Kim Geun-hwan remarked, "You should have gotten his contact information right away. You should have given him yours," Kim Young-kwang replied, "Maybe we'll kick a ball around together later..." Kim has appeared twice for the national team in the World Cup and played as a goalkeeper during his active career.
