BTS V apologizes to fans after 30-minute disappearance for snack

BTS member V apologized on Weverse on the 8th after disappearing for 30 minutes during a real-time chat with fans to eat a tuna mayo triangle kimbap. The global star had previously told "You Quiz on the Block" in September 2023 that he enjoys the larger sizes of the snack.

BTS member V provided a humorous explanation for why he suddenly vanished while communicating in real-time with fans. After briefly leaving the conversation claiming he needed to tie his shoelaces, he returned 30 minutes later to reveal the true reason: a craving for a convenience store triangle kimbap. The global star's simple desire for a snack, rather than a grand schedule, drew laughter from fans.

On the 8th, V posted two photos on the global fan community Weverse with the message, "Sorry I suddenly disappeared, right? I want to eat a triangle kimbap, so please bear with me." He was belatedly explaining the reason for his unannounced departure during a conversation with fans, asking for their cute understanding.

The released photos include a tuna mayo triangle kimbap purchased from a convenience store and a selfie taken while eating it on the street. Wearing headphones, V is pictured with his cheeks puffed out after taking a bite of the triangle kimbap. His playful expression and unadorned appearance revealed a friendly charm within his ordinary daily life.

Prior to this, V had been conversing with fans on various topics on Weverse. During the chat, he left the scene abruptly after saying, "Wait a second, let me tie my shoelaces." While fans may have thought he was only stepping away for a moment, it took approximately 30 minutes for V to return.

Upon his late appearance, V explained that he had stopped by a convenience store in the meantime to buy and eat a triangle kimbap. He had essentially paused the conversation with fans to satisfy his food craving before returning. Along with an apology saying "I'm sorry," he added the witty expression "please bear with me" to seek understanding from fans. The fact that a star enjoying global popularity stepped away for a moment because of a single triangle kimbap provided a simple, lighthearted laugh.

This incident brought renewed attention to V's love for convenience store food. In September 2023, he appeared on the tvN entertainment program "You Quiz on the Block" and revealed that he likes tuna mayo triangle kimbap. At that time, V stated, "I like the tuna mayo flavor. It used to be a little bit before, but these days they come out in big sizes and are plentiful, so I like it."

He also revealed his favorite food combinations. In addition to tuna mayo triangle kimbap, V recommended spaghetti cup noodles and soft-boiled eggs as foods he frequently eats. Contrary to his daily life highlighted by flashy performances and global activities, he revealed a palate no different from an ordinary person when faced with convenience store food.

V, who disappeared to eat a triangle kimbap during a conversation with fans and then explained the story himself, showed off his friendly and playful charm through the fact that the reason for the 30-minute gap was such a simple snack.
