However, some images posted on April 11 caught the attention of ARMYs. Alongside some top names in music and film, V was seen taking pictures with none other than veteran actor Kang Dong Won.

In the two photos, the idol and actor seemed extremely friendly as they were seen hanging out with other celebrities, including the director of Pachinko, Theresa Kang-Lowe.

Although this meeting was probably created through mutual friends, it seems like V and Kang Dong Won are much closer than the first pictures show, and netizens can’t get enough of their friendship.

On April 13 (KST), V treated fans when he shared a picture of himself and Kang Dong Won going to see the Michael Jackson ONE show by Cirque du Soleil at Mandalay Bay. In the caption, V wrote, “Geochang dongsaeng, Geochang hyung,” because both of them have links to the Geochang province.

When the image was posted, netizens couldn’t get over just how adorable the two celebrities were. The fact that they had gone to see a show together proved that they must be closer friends than the initial images seemed to show.

One of the reasons why the images stood out to ARMYs is not only the fact that Kang Dong Won is a veteran actor but the fact that he is one of V’s idols!

When asked about his role model during an interview, V explained that it was Kang Dong Won because of his links to V’s hometown.
