A recent Instagram video posted by BTS’s Jimin, featuring him and V enjoying the waves at the beach, has sent fans around the world into a frenzy.
On August 19, Jimin uploaded a clip showing the two idols holding hands and playfully braving the ocean waves together. Overseas fans immediately erupted with excitement, posting messages like, “My VMIN!!!!”
Fans were especially tickled by Jimin’s playful antics, trying to tug at V’s pants. One fan wrote, “Hahaha! Jimin tried to pull Taehyung’s pants at the end! Such little pranksters!!” Another added, “Jimin, what are you trying to do? Pull Taehyung’s pants down? I get it… haha, VMIN forever.”
Domestic fans expressed a more sentimental reaction. Comments like “This is youth itself, this is life, this is love. I’m so happy” gained widespread approval. Some even referenced BTS’s iconic track with remarks like “It’s HwaYangYeonHwa…ㅠㅠ”, while others imagined the scene closely: “From afar, it’s a beautiful video of friends holding hands against the sunset waves, but up close, they must be giggling nonstop.”
Fans were also touched by the duo’s deep friendship. One comment, receiving over 50 likes, read: “Hope you two continue holding hands and supporting each other even in your 40s, 50s, or 80s, just like in your songs.” International fans echoed the sentiment, describing them as soulmates who truly found each other.
Many found comfort in their pure, playful energy. Comments like “Holding hands, conquering the waves? So healing” and “They’re having so much fun with something so small, it’s like watching two kids play—keep it up~~~” highlighted the warmth fans felt from the clip.
The timing of the video is notable, coming shortly after BTS’s unexpected Weverse Live from a Los Angeles beach on August 17, which drew over 4 million viewers in just seven minutes. Fans are reveling in these glimpses of the members’ everyday lives.
“Love Jimin and V! Thank you for completing BTS as a full group!!” wrote one fan, reflecting the global excitement for BTS’s reunion.
