BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, made headlines with his ceremonial first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and now fans are getting a closer look at what really went into the big moment. Dressed in jersey number 7, a heartfelt nod to BTS’ OT7 legacy, V left ARMY across the globe emotional.
While the crowd adored his effortless charm, a new behind-the-scenes video has revealed that Taehyung’s flawless pitch was the result of more than just good looks.
The video, shared by Bangtan TV on YouTube, titled “Behind the Scenes of V’s First Pitch for the LA Dodgers – BTS”, takes viewers through V’s entire Dodgers experience. From his arrival at the stadium to his time on the field, the footage shows him practicing intently for his throw. It quickly became a fan favourite, flooding social media with clips, edits, and heartfelt reactions.
V’s Dedication and ARMY Reactions
The behind-the-scenes look showed V rehearsing to ensure his throw was on point. Even in what was meant to be a casual ceremonial pitch, the star’s commitment was evident. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) praised his dedication. “Perfect as always,” one ARMY wrote. Another added, “Our handsome, athletic, hardworking Tae.”
Some couldn’t help but add playful advice, with one fan commenting, “I hope when he goes to the gym, he includes in his exercises, muscles build up in his legs & thighs.” Another user recalled how the Dodgers were caught off-guard when they realized V was left-handed and had to scramble to find a glove for his right hand. The detail delighted fans, showing just how unique and special the moment was.
Meeting Shohei Ohtani And Breaking MLB Servers
One of the highlights of V’s Dodgers outing was his meeting with Japanese baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani. The photos of the two icons together quickly went viral, creating a crossover moment between K-pop and baseball fans worldwide.
The excitement wasn’t just limited to the stadium. Reports suggested that ahead of V’s pitch on August 26, the official MLB website briefly experienced server issues due to the overwhelming traffic from fans eager to tune into the broadcast. The sheer demand underscored BTS’ unmatched global influence and Taehyung’s star power as a solo artist.
Despite admitting to feeling nervous and even a bit hungry during the day, V delivered his pitch with grace and confidence, making it a moment to remember.
