BTS’ V says he wants ‘to be ARMY’s partner, best friend’, gets response from fans: ‘We purple you Taehyung’

BTS member V has revealed that he wants to be a partner, best friend who’s always by the side of his ARMY. In a recent interview, V aka Taehyung said ARMY are friends he ‘would hate to lose’.

V called ARMY friends who ‘seriously give me strength’. He also said that he does whatever he can to make people smile. V added that it is similar with the other members–RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook.

Speaking to Weverse magazine, V said, “I want to be ARMY’s partner, their best friend, the friend who’s always by their side when we’re not on stage. It feels like business when I talk about communicating with ARMY. (laughs) I just want to talk with a close friend. I wanna talk with a close friend—that’s exactly how I feel. It’s been a long time since I could see my friend, ARMY. Usually when friends can’t see each other they keep in touch all the time. I can talk about all kinds of things like that with ARMY thanks to the Weverse platform, and because I can hear all about their lives, I think I was able to go on Weverse and hold that kind of event.”

He also said, “They’re just, well, friends I would hate to lose. Friends who seriously give me strength whenever they’re around. Sometimes you find friends like that in life. It’s like that with the other members, and I have other friends who I can share my feelings with. And I have ARMY. So I can’t help but do whatever I can do to make those people smile and make them feel happy.”

Reacting to his comments, ARMY members responded on Twitter. Fans started tweeting, ‘We purple you Taehyung’. A fan shared V’s pictures and wrote, “Taehyung is the sweetest person, he always makes sure that all of us have to feel loved, thank you Taehyung! We purple you Taehyung.”

“I love you with all my heart Kim Taehyung one of my bestfriend that I don’t want to lose ever. We purple you Taehyung,” said another fan. “Taehyung humility is one of many amazing qualities of him! We purple you Taehyung,” tweeted another fan.
