The conversation then shifted to his school days, where V and his classmates performed “Look at me, Gwisun” by Daesung. Although their class didn’t win, V revealed that the song’s vibes resonated with him at the time, making it a memorable experience.

Another touching moment came when V talked about singing “Ripe persimmon(홍시)” by Na Hoon-a, a trot song. He attributed his love for this genre to Jungkook, who had taught him the song. V’s admiration for Na Hoon-a and trot music shone through as he shared this part of his musical journey.

The most heartfelt stories came when V discussed his close relationship with his grandmother. He revealed how he used to sleep in her room as a child, often imagining a pen as a sword before bedtime. Waking up with doodles on both his and his grandmother’s faces was a cherished memory. He also mentioned how his grandmother would share her Bacchus energy drink with him, a small but significant source of joy during his childhood.

V’s voice turned emotional as he spoke about his grandmother’s passing. He expressed his desire for her to witness his current success, especially when performing in front of the dedicated ARMY fans. To honor her memory, V revealed that he brings Bacchus to her grave and has heartfelt conversations with her.
