However, this peaceful moment quickly turned into a moment of panic for his managers and bodyguards. While the star was engrossed in eating, a ball reportedly flew close to his direction. His managers immediately panicked and sprang into action, quickly standing up from their chairs to protect him from any potential harm.

Meanwhile, Taehyung didn’t even flinch or shift his gaze, maintaining his composure as if nothing had happened, which left fans both amused and tickled. One fan called the moment "cute."

Beyond the humor, many fans expressed their warmth toward the moment, appreciating how attentive and protective his team was, and how naturally trusting and at ease Taehyung seemed because of their presence.

Adding to the excitement, his Dodgers jersey bore the number 7, symbolizing his group, BTS, which added to the emotionality of his debut baseball stint.

Just a couple of days later, he was spotted with bandmate j-hope at a tattoo parlour in Los Angeles. The tattoo artist, Dr. Woo, shared a photo showing a tattoo on j-hope’s upper knee. While fans could clearly spot j-hope’s ink, they are still curious whether Taehyung got a tattoo himself or was simply there to accompany Hobi.
