BTS’ V, aka Kim Taehyung, recently discussed friendship in an interview with SimInvest, reminding fans of his Wooga Squad. On January 31, SimInvest, an Indonesia-based investment company, released the interview with Kim Taehyung, which was presumably recorded before his enlistment in December 2023.
The BTS vocalist has been the brand ambassador of SimInvest since March 2023. In the interview, he shared his views on friendships and how he navigates his relationships while following a packed schedule. He also revealed his definition of a “best friend.”
The idol said:
“For me, a best friend is someone I can share my heart with. If you have to put on a pretense, that’s not a real friendship. I think a best friend is someone who loves me for who I truly am, without pretense, and vice versa—I love and accept them for who they really are.”

"I FEEL happy and always pray that u get surrounded by only lovely people , those who values you , friend who is your love. Whom you trust," a user stated.
"A real one doesnt have any hidden motives or agendas. Their sole intention is to create and share their world with you. A true friend uplifts you and refrains from instilling doubt in your vision, recognizing that their support holds immense value for you. No pretense at all," a netizen commented.
"I totally agree with him... But I would add them best friends are the ones who want the best for you and support you in everything, people who are with you in bad and good moments and and reciprocate your dedication, respect and admiration," a fan wrote.
