BTS' V challenges the fans to compete with him at online games

During the Weverse live, V addressed this gaming milestone, shedding light on his passion for gaming and his motivation behind taking it to a more serious level.

He began by reminiscing about his gaming experiences with ARMYs in the past, where it was all about having fun and connecting with fans over shared interests.

The BTS star playfully acknowledged that back then, some fans might have underestimated his gaming skills.

However, he was now determined to prove his prowess in the gaming world. With a playful grin, he challenged ARMYs, especially those who would be attending his live fan-meeting, to join him in League of Legends. His message was clear that he was ready to compete seriously and was confident in his abilities.

"So, in the past, there's definitely ARMYs who have watched me for a long time, and you know how I used to like playing games with ARMYs back then? I used to play League of Legends with them, and when I played with ARMYs back then, I was playing for fun, not seriously. And I think ARMYs thought I wasn't that good at it, so this time I tried to prove it, that I'm this good at it. In that sense, who wants to play with me?" (translation via Twitter/miiniyoongs)

This friendly challenge, delivered with V's signature charm, invited ARMYs to test their gaming skills against their beloved idol. While V's tone was lighthearted, it was clear that he had embraced gaming as more than just a hobby, it had become a passion and a skill he was proud of.

But that wasn't all. The BTS member didn't stop at gaming. He extended his challenge to music. He encouraged ARMYs to practice singing so they could join him in performing Slow Dancing live during the fan-meet.

"I'll give the mic and pass the mic around for us and 'Slow Dancing.' Be prepared to sing," he exclaimed with enthusiasm. (translation via Twitter/miiniyoongs)
