On June 19, the latest episode of YouTube channel Gym Jong Kook featured Haha, his son Dream, and bodybuilder Ma Sun-ho.
While the episode centered around Haha promoting his new song โSunny Day,โ the biggest surprise came from an unexpected voice cameo.
As Kim Jong Kook brought up Hahaโs album release and jokingly asked, โCan someone congratulate him?โ a familiar voice suddenly chimed in, โCongrats on the album, Haha hyung,โ said none other than BTSโs V, giving a thumbs-up gesture though he didnโt appear on screen. His brief audio message alone caused a stir in the studio.
Haha, visibly stunned, couldnโt hold back his laughter and subtly hinted at Vโs identity by flashing a V-sign to the camera. He then shared, โHeโs the one who gave a shout-out to my song on Twitter.โ
Indeed, back in 2021, V had recommended Hahaโs song โStory of a Short Kidโ on BTSโs official Twitter, describing it as a track that โgave me great comfort when I was little.โ
Their connection goes even further back to 2015 during an appearance on Mnetโs Yaman TV, where Haha was awestruck by Vโs looks and repeatedly complimented him. In his 2018 song โDang Diggi Bang,โ Haha even included the line โFeeling BTS like V,โ expressing his admiration.
This particular episode was reportedly filmed while V is still serving in the military, making the surprise cameo even more meaningful. Though it wasnโt a full appearance, fans are already hoping for a proper guest feature once V completes his service.
