Although BTS’s V is serving in the army, information about him is still arousing keen interest from netizens
On the morning of May 29th, Allkpop reported that BTS’s V was suspected of secretly having a son at the age of 29. This rumor spread when a video showing a baby looking like V was shared widely in Korean online communities on the 28th. Some people even tagged V’s account in the post about the baby. In fact, it’s a Korean-Filipino baby named Kim Su-ho.
Amid intensifying rumors, fans of V flocked to the personal account of Kim Su-ho’s mother and requested her to confirm the identity of the baby’s father.
Later on the evening of May 28th, Kim Su-ho’s mother released a post denying all the rumors related to V. She shared, “Su-ho’s father is already in his 50s and he don’t want to post his current pictures or videos here in Instagram. So I decided to upload the childhood pictures of him and he agreed about it”.
She added, “Today I’ve read a comment that is very inappropriate. I’ve seen negative comments but so far this comment is inappropriate… Jokes are jokes but it can actually damage careers and lives…”.
Mentioning V, Suho’s mother said, “Kim Tae-hyung (V’s real name) deserves to be respected. He is very kind and popular man… He worked hard to be successful. If you really a fan of Kim Tae-hyun, you should protect his image. Once again… Suho is not related to Tae-hyung”.
After reading the statement of Suho’s mother, netizens sent supportive messages to her family and poured criticism on fans who left excessive comments on her account.
