The latest episode of the channel featured South Korean singer Haha, his son Dream, and bodybuilder Ma Sun Ho as special guests. The episode primarily focused on the release of Haha's new album, Sunny Day, and during a fun segment, host Kim Jong Kook asked someone to congratulate the singer. To everyone's surprise, K-pop idol V took the lead to congratulate the fellow K-pop singer.
V appeared on the camera and congratulated Haha in a heartfelt message. 'Congrats on the album, Haha hyung (older brother)," V said while showing a thumbs-up gesture. Although the singer did not appear on screen, ARMYs recognised the voice of their favourite idol. In order to further confirm V's identity, a joyful Haha was seen flashing a V-sign to the camera.

V and Haha shared a decade-old friendship, which saw the beginning in 2015 after the BTS idol shared one of Haha's songs titled Story of a Short Kid and explained how the track provided him with great comfort when he was a kid. Remembering V's gesture, Haha recalled their friendship and stated, 'The one who gave a shout-out to my song on Twitter."
Following V's discharge from the military, fans are eagerly waiting for his upcoming projects. To further heighten their anticipation, the singer joined a live chat and revealed that his upcoming project will be released soon.

Secrets of BTS' life in LA revealed: V buffs up in gym, Ma Sun Ho says Jungkook is ‘almost a bodybuilder'
Looks like the Bangtan Boys are all having fun in Los Angeles! It is known that BTS is prepping for their highly anticipated spring 2026 comeback album in the USA, and they're leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the members' enviable physiques remain the top shape. Physical: 100 star Ma Sun Ho revealed how one by one the teammates joined V and Jungkook as they worked out together while staying in LA. How the members of BTS ended up getting ripped together A new video on singer Kim Jong Kook's YouTube channel showed him having a chat with bodybuilder Ma Sun Ho. The latter revealed about being on a business trip with the members of BTS to help them train their bodies while working on their group comeback album. He shared how initially it was only Kim Taehyung (V) and Jungkook who worked out, but learning of the fun they had together, leader Namjoon (RM) joined them. Slowly and surely, hearing about the interesting time they had, SUGA and Jimin joined the bunch, making for a group gym session. The Turbo star asked if Jungkook had bulked up, to which an update was provided about how the singer had indeed gained a lot of muscle (during his military service). Ma Sun Ho went as far as calling him 'almost a bodybuilder', and as a professional in the field, it was a huge compliment for the SEVEN singer. When Kim Jong Kook bragged about having V appear in one of his videos, the younger star revealed that the BTS member would appear on his YouTube channel soon. It seems that the entire team is having a jolly good time while working on their music and maintaining their bodies as well. Previously, RM had shared that V has managed to get buff during his time in the SDT arm of the South Korean military. He went on to praise his physique further, sharing that it was better than his own and even Jungkook's, who was known to be the most muscular in the team. With the members' recent fondness for going shirtless every chance they get- we're looking at you, J-Hope- the day when all seven of them show off their toned physiques together is not too far!

BTS' Jimin earns hilarious reply after he calls out Jin's ‘sloppy' stretching, SUGA and Jungkook react to solo Spring Day
Every time the BTS members come around, you can expect memes being created as they speak. Jin's solo concert was no different. As he stretched ahead of going on stage to debut his individual tour, Jimin popped in backstage to wish him well, but started off with a joke instead, calling out his lone stretching but praising him soon after. Jin reacted well to it and profusely apologized, earning laughter from everyone present. SUGA was not far behind with his own teasing, and Jungkook stuck to celebrating his solo journey instead. Jimin proves his adorable status in BTS The BTS members are closer than ever, and another example of that was seen during the behind-the-scenes moments from Jin's Run Seokjin concert in Goyang. SUGA entered, talking about how hot it had gotten, but the older member began talking about himself, only to be teased about the heat affecting the audience instead. Later, as the younger ones entered, the BTS matnae welcomed him with 'my Jiminie' remark, only to be scolded for his stretching skills in a military manner. A joke between the two, the Abyss star accepted it well and said he was sorry. Jimin expressed his excitement for the Run Seokjin Ep Tour. Like the mischievous younger member that he was, the singer spoke about pressurizing his hyung, only to laden more praise on his piano skills and overall concert. He added how fellow member Taehyung (V) had complimented his Rope It performance, but called it 'Tie me up' instead. In another moment from the concert, Jungkook and SUGA were seen nodding along, enjoying the solo version of their team track, Spring Day. The latter even played an invisible piano, probably recalling the many dozens of times the group had practised the song. The four grabbed a selfie backstage, which the fans are now demanding to be released.
