The Kpop idol band BTS gave avid followers a treat with their exciting stage performances and fun activities during the group's Seoul fan meetings. However, a recent fan event featured an emotional moment as BTS singer V shared a touching story.
BTS singer V gave fans a peek into his personal life during the Kpop idol group's Seoul fan meeting held on Nov. 12, Saturday. Towards the end of the said event, he addressed fan speculations on why he looked unwell lately.
Other BTS members may have given a special shout-out to the crowd, but when it became V's turn he revealed that his paternal grandmother died recently. It was the reason why he looked sad since he was very close to his grandmother, Soompi quoted the singer as saying.
V also tearfully recounted how his recently deceased grandmother cared for him when she was still alive. Having raised the singer for 13 years, V considered his grandmother as one of his parents. He even came up with a plan to surprise his grandmother on TV but the BTS singer was unable to execute it since she already passed away.
The South Korean musician also made mention of his personal belief that his grandmother is still looking after him and sending blessings from heaven. With V's heartbreaking story, many fans were moved to tears as he opened up about his grandmother.
