As global celebrities, BTS members—especially V—are always under public scrutiny. Even during everyday activities like having a meal or spending time with friends, they are often watched closely by fans.

ARMYs have often criticized those who share idols’ private locations on social media, making it difficult for them to enjoy personal time. For instance, earlier this September, V and Jungkook had to leave a restaurant mid-dinner due to a sudden crowd, which sparked outrage among fans.

However, not every fan encounter is negative. True ARMYs often meet BTS members without disturbing them, earning genuine appreciation in return.

Recently, V praised ARMYs for their behavior while jogging along the Han River. This jogging initiative had been suggested by him and Jungkook during a livestream. The fans’ polite and considerate conduct impressed V so much that he even considered giving them a gift to show his gratitude.

On Weverse, when a fan asked about the experience, V said:
“Since no eyewitness accounts were ever posted, I want to thank ARMYs for being so considerate. Next time I meet them, I should give them something in return. Thanks to their politeness, I’ve been going jogging on the mountains regularly.”

He added:
“ARMYs have been extremely polite with me—it’s not even a joke. If they spot me, they don’t approach, give me space, and don’t run alongside me. They just greet me with the BTS signature gesture, as if saying, ‘It doesn’t matter if you’re here or not.’ I enjoyed every moment—it was funny and very pleasant.”

During the jogging initiative, V also set a few rules:

• Don’t talk to us, but run alongside.
• Signal that you’re ARMY, but avoid silly antics (like pointing fingers).
• Don’t take pictures while we’re exercising.
• Keep running—don’t stop to walk.

ARMYs followed these rules perfectly, earning V’s praise and strengthening the trust between him and fans. Their thoughtful behavior even motivated him to exercise more regularly, which is why he considered giving them a gift.

• “The rules are working. Blessed are the considerate ARMYs.”
• “Respecting him shows how mutual trust and appreciation naturally grow between idols and fans.”

This experience highlights how thoughtful fan behavior can foster a positive and healthy relationship between BTS and their supporters, allowing idols like V to enjoy their time peacefully while still maintaining meaningful connections with ARMYs.
