The first teaser, which played a snippet of the new song at the end, was released just days ago. Although the upcoming digital single was announced on March 3, it seems V mildly spoiled the song for fans months ago while filming for the variety show, Jinny’s Kitchen: Team Building, a spin-off of Jinny’s Kitchen.

In the first episode, which was released on November 12, 2023, the Jinny’s Kitchen cast reunited, and interns V and actor Choi Woo Shik found themselves in a car together.

During their car ride, observant netizens realized that V played his unreleased song “FRI(END)S” for his friend Choi Woo Shik months before it was even announced.

ARMYs are consistently amazed at how hard the BTS members worked before their mandatory military enlistment to ensure fans had new content to enjoy while they were away.

Other netizens were impressed with how quickly fans uncovered the spoiler and linked it to V’s upcoming song.

Army's powers of investigation and detection are astonishing.
