On October 3, 2022, one of BTS’ managers, Song Ho-bum, shared adorable pictures of the Bangtan members with his son on his personal Instagram. In the post, BTS members were seen affectionately holding the baby and playing with him.
Following this, ARMYs took to Twitter to express their happiness in seeing the septet's picture with the baby. Their reactions suggested that they were pleased with the members' caring and fun attitude towards children in general.
BTS members Jimin, V, and Jung Kook console the crying baby
When the pictures were clicked, BTS members and their staff were stationed backstage for the 2021 Lotte Family Concert.
The septet was seen consoling and smiling affectionately as the baby was crying. The maknae line, comprising of Jimin, Jung Kook and V, each took turns to console the toddler. While Jung Kook can be seen pouting at the baby and looking into his eyes with love and affection, another photo had V cooing at the baby.
One picture even saw SUGA holding the baby in his arms and trying to look cool. Finally, in the group picture, Jimin was seen holding the manager's son in his arms as the members smiled.
As soon as the pictures made it to the internet, fans took the opportunity to appreciate the BTS members holding and playing with their manager's son. Check out some of their reactions:
While the majority of the fandom continued to appreciate the members being adorable with kids, many fans expressed their happiness at seeing fan edits of the members holding babies come to life. Some even took this moment to wonder if they will ever get to watch a RUN BTS episode featuring cute babies. One ARMY tweeted:
"I'm still on my ideas of hoping to get a RUN BTS episode where tannies take care of babies"
For those unversed, "tannies" refer to members as their Korean name is Bangtan Sonyeondan.
Besides their manager's son, the Bangtan members are also very fond of their choreographer Son Song-deuk’s son, Moa, and always entertain him whenever he comes to visit them on shoots.
The septet performed at the 31st Lotte Duty Free Family Concert alongside label mates TOMORROW X TOGETHER, TWICE, ITZY, and Super Junior D&E (Super Junior Donghae and Eunhyuk).
Super Junior's Shindong was the MC for the special event, which was streamed online for fans to watch. The theme for the event was "Meet the green vibes, greet the duty-free life," giving the message of environmental protection, sustainability, and going green to reduce our carbon footprints in the environment.
In other news, Bangtan will be performing for the first time in almost six months for the “2030 World Expo” concert bid at Busan’s Asiad stadium on October 15, 2022. The concert is free of charge and is scheduled to host 100,000 fans.
The Yet to Come concert will be streamed live on Weverse, ZEPETO, and NAVER NOW for international ARMYs.
