V Wears No. 7 Dodgers Jersey in BTS Tribute
Fans couldn’t get enough of V’s game-day look. Dressed in a Dodgers jersey emblazoned with the number 7, the K-pop idol made a subtle but meaningful nod to BTS. Speculation was high on whether he would choose his birth year “95″ as his number, but instead he went with the symbolic 7, representing BTS’ unity and their ARMY fandom.
Before taking the mound, V warmed up with stretches and greeted the crowd, even leading the chant: “It’s time for Dodgers baseball!” The moment sparked thunderous cheers, and fans across social media praised his effortless charisma.
The stadium commentators added to the hype, jokingly suggesting V sign up for the team after his strong left-handed throw. One even noted, “69.2 million Instagram followers. Most superstars are known by one name. This guy is so big, he’s known by one letter!”
Viral Hug with Shohei Ohtani Wins Fans Over
Beyond the pitch, another highlight had fans buzzing worldwide—V sharing a warm hug with Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. The interaction quickly went viral, with ARMY and baseball fans alike celebrating the crossover moment between sports and K-pop icons.
With his impressive pitch, V joins the ranks of BTS members Jungkook and J-Hope, who have also stepped onto the pitcher’s mound in the past. While his Dodger Stadium appearance had fans calling for an MLB contract, the singer is expected to return to music soon, reuniting with BTS as the group prepares for their highly anticipated post-military comeback album.
