“Since it’s the weekend today, nothing much! I was napping, then I’ll go work out later!”
Fans expressed concern for his well-being, with one humorously “commanding” him:
“Sergeant Kim, I miss you… Don’t get hurt or sick! This is a command!”
V responded playfully:
“Since it’s such sincerity (in your command)… I’m a little sick, but it’s youth, in a way..!”
He also teased a fan who shared a muscle photo, joking:
“Um… how long ago is this? Your phone seems a little vintage!”
As fans counted down to his return, V added:
“Whew… quickly..!”
