BTS member V and popular soloist-actress IU are once again making headlines! A new photo has surfaced online that has fans wondering if the two stars spent time together to celebrate IU’s birthday.
On May 15, an image of V at a dining table began circulating across Korean online communities and social media. In the picture, V is seen enjoying a quiet meal, sitting across from someone whose face isn’t visible—only their back is shown. But that didn’t stop fans from investigating.
Sharp-eyed netizens quickly noticed that the mystery person’s outfit closely matched what IU wore during a birthday livestream held the same day. IU went live with fans on May 15 to celebrate ahead of her birthday on May 16, when she turned 32. The colors and patterns of the clothing were nearly identical, leading many to believe that the person dining with V was IU herself.
Fans Are Connecting the Dots
This isn’t the first time the two stars have shared a buzz-worthy moment. Back in January 2024, IU and V starred together in her emotional music video Love Wins All. Their touching performances and believable chemistry as lovers in a post-apocalyptic setting melted hearts around the world.
Later in September 2024, V was seen attending IU’s encore concert, further proving the strong support they have for each other’s work. That appearance alone had sparked several days of fan excitement—and now, this latest sighting has only fueled the fire.
Viral Photo Sends Fans Into a Frenzy
The photo of V has gone viral, with fans across platforms thrilled by the possible birthday dinner. Many are especially touched by the idea that V, currently serving in the military, might have taken time off to be with IU for her special day. Others are simply happy to see the mutual admiration and support the two seem to share, both on and off stage.
For now, both stars remain focused on their individual careers. IU continues to make waves in both acting and music, while V is fulfilling his military service duties. But this unexpected moment has brought a burst of joy to fans, who are always eager for glimpses of their favorite stars together.
Whether it’s friendship or something more, fans are loving this sweet connection between V and IU—and they’ll definitely be watching for what comes next.
