Sung Dong Il also talked about how BTS V adores his daughter Sung Bin. It seems like in this case, it's just the other way around, instead of the little girl admiring a K-pop star. In this situation, it's the BTS idol who adores the little girl so much that he even sends her gifts and food.
When BTS began travelling to Japan for their shows there, V would send her boxes of Japanese goodies and ramen.
During that time, Sung Bin had no idea who BTS was and how famous they are! However, Sung Dong Il revealed that the day came when his daughter discovered them, then she began to question her father if it was the same person who always sends her snack and gifts! She's such one lucky girl!
Meanwhile, this is not the very first time that the veteran actor flaunted his close friendship with V. In a reality show that was shot in the beautiful island of Hawaii, Sung Dong Il once ran into an American fan of V and was able to connect a video call to the BTS member for him.
