We love V or Kim, for the person that he is. The “ador-kable” member of BTS was the last member to be added to their lineup and comes from humble beginnings. He has said that if he hadn’t joined BTS he would join his family in the agricultural sector. His sincere attitude and overall innocence is what makes the super unique V stand out. During this episode of Run BTS, he showed his humorous side and got all the other members and many of us who were watching at home to keep our eyes peeled to our screens.

When the boys played the Harmonica game, V decided to play the song, “Zero O’ Clock” on the harmonica and had all the other members of the gang doubling over with laughter. Although V knew the answer, he didn’t want his teammates to guess the answer as easily. Unfortunately for V, J-Hope caught onto the tune and stated the answer, causing V to get mad at losing his shot to win. Things between the boys got further heated in the next game they played. During the game of red light, green light, V sent all the fangirls into a spiral when he planted a sweet kiss on Jin’s cheek. This elicited a surprised response and a total meme moment between the two guys and lots of giggles and laughter from the rest of their friends.

As the bespectacled V tried his best to rush back and finish off the game, Jin didn’t let his friend get an easy win and blocked his exit path by using his hand to grab V’s head. In the final mini-game (which involved a glass box and an egg), RM and V decided to take each other on and play a game that involved the two of them smashing an egg. Finally, even the rest of the boys admitted that V definitely was the true MVP of the game with J-Hope being the first to nominate him for the position.
