The clip and Taehyung’s caption together fueled a chain of lighthearted replies across platforms, with one X user commenting:

Some described his sense of humor as "broken," while others saw him as the type to share dry humor reels at 3 am, adding that he is so "millennial."

Several supporters suggested that Taehyung should retract his earlier remark, claiming that ARMY lacks humor. During a live broadcast on Weverse in June 2022, an admirer asked the K-pop idol who was more amusing - ARMY or BTS. He replied, “ARMYs are not funny,” including a smiling emoticon.

BTS’ Kim Taehyung grabbed headlines during his recent Weverse live after putting the spotlight on a British-Indian artist’s hit song, setting off chatter among listeners. The livestream, which fell on the birthday of his late dog Yeontan, turned into both a tribute and a musical session. During his time, V sang and played tracks for ARMYs around the globe.

A key moment came when he sang Double Take by Dhruv Sharma, a single already making waves across Southeast Asia, with strong popularity even in the Philippines and Thailand. Not long after, Dhruv Sharma reacted on Instagram, posting a story to thank V for picking his song.

The British-Indian musician, who is openly queer and a strong advocate for LGBTQ representation, also hit follow on V’s profile. On September 7, 2025, “Forever with Yeontan” climbed the trends on X as fans remembered BTS’ Taehyung’s pomeranian on what would have been his eighth birthday. Yeontan, or Tannie as he was fondly called, passed on December 2, 2024.

BTS’ V completed his military service on June 10, 2025. He served in the elite Special Duty Team of the 2nd Corps Military Police. With every BTS member now back, the group is moving closer to a full reunion, expected around mid-2026.
