V of K-Pop group BTS had Filipino ARMYs rolling in kilig after he gave a sweet shout-out they consider as yet another win.
During a VLive broadcast, V — whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung — surprised BTS fans when he once again said the Filipino phrase “Mahal ko kayo” which, when translated to English, means “I love you.”
