On September 5, 2024, BIGHIT released a new episode of Are You Sure?!, featuring BTS members Jungkook and Jimin. The episode, filmed in Sapporo, Japan, before their military enlistment, contained several memorable moments, including one where Jimin revisited the famous "dumpling incident" with fellow BTS member Taehyung, also known as V.

What was the infamous 'dumpling incident' between BTS' Jimin and Taehyung?

The fight over dumplings, or "mandu" in Korean, happened in their practice room after a rehearsal. The team had ordered the snack to enjoy after practice, and it sparked a clash between the 95-liner best friends.

Further insights into the incident were revealed in a YouTube interview about their song Friends from Map of the Soul: 7, uploaded to BANGTANTV on YouTube. V, who was busy filming his first K-drama Hwarang at the time, recalled that he would eat whenever he felt like it, regardless of whether the others had eaten.

The Filter singer disagreed with this approach, believing it wasn't fair for V to eat before the rest of the members finished practicing. This disagreement escalated to the point where other members had to intervene, urging them to settle the issue outside.

Reflecting on the argument, the Serendipity singer shared with Jungkook how that fight over dumplings led to them not speaking for an extended period. Ultimately, V resolved the conflict by going for an early morning walk and calling Jimin for a heart-to-heart chat.
