BTS member Kim Taehyung, also known as V, launched his first solo album, 'Layover,' on Friday. To mark the occasion, the singer went live on Weverse to engage with the BTS fanbase, commonly known as ARMY. Towards the end of the live session, the 27-year-old South Korean idol disclosed that he is aware of the distinction between greetings and 'I love you' in India.
Taehyung expressed his love for fans in various languages during his live session, considering BTS's global fanbase. When an Indian fan requested him to say "Namaste," he obliged. However, he also mentioned that he understood the meaning of "Namaste" and recognised it as a greeting, indicating he wasn't fooled by the request. As he bid farewell to his fans, he humorously said, "ok this is my lullaby for tonight! bye bye~ bye bye yo~ te amo~i know namaste is a greeting (and not i love you)! i know this much..!"
