American singer-songwriter UMI's reaction to discovering a similarity with BTS' V is gaining attention. On Tuesday, January 2, UMI held a feel-good Instagram live where she engaged with fans in conversations on wellness and the like. It was there that she mentioned how her phone is "always on 20%" battery.
As soon as she revealed that, someone was quick enough to notice and comment how V and the Remember Me singer are always running out of phone charge. Upon reading out the same, the American artist humorously pointed out:
"Great minds think alike, great minds have the same lil quirks".

BTS V and UMI's low phone battery similarity leaves fans amused
UMI released wherever u r featuring BTS' V on December 30, 2023, which holds great importance among ARMYs (BTS fans) for also being their fave's 28th birthday. Furthermore, the fact that the Love Me Again singer wished for it to be released on his birthday as a gift for his fans successfully melted ARMYs' hearts worldwide.
BTS' V enlisted in the South Korean military for his compulsory duty of 18 months on December 11, 2023, alongside group leader RM. At the time of the song's launch, he was already in service and it was his first birthday spent away from the dedicated fandom.
With heartfelt lyrics, the song made the ARMYs, who are already missing the BTS member, emotional.
V and UMI's collaborations keep receiving much love, and owing to BTS fans' admiration for UMI, it was only natural a good chunk of ARMYs were also watching her Instagram live on Tuesday.
Therefore, just as soon as she revealed how her phone is always on low battery, fans could not help but draw a connection with V, who has a similar reputation of running his phone on low battery.
What's more amusing is that she herself retweeted the post using various giggling face emojis.
