BTS member V is drawing attention online after sharing his renewed effort to improve his English — something fans are linking to a recent comment by bandmate RM.

On March 30, V posted on social media, writing, “I’m locking in for real this time no excuses,” alongside photos and a short video. The clip shows him listening to an online English conversation lesson and repeating sentences aloud, appearing focused and determined.

Fans quickly reacted, praising what many described as a rare glimpse of V’s study routine and applauding his commitment. The moment has been widely shared across social media platforms, with supporters expressing encouragement and curiosity about his progress.

The timing has added to the buzz. During a live broadcast on March 20 — the day BTS returned as a full group with their new album “ARIRANG” — RM referenced a lyric from track three, “Aliens,” which reads, “I’m the only one who can do English.” He said, “I also want to go back and forth in conversation. I’m the only one talking and translating.”

That remark resonated with fans, who now see V’s study update as a response — intentional or not — to the group’s ongoing discussion about language and communication as global artists.

BTS released their fifth full-length album “ARIRANG” on March 20 and have since resumed full-group promotions following the completion of South Korea’s mandatory military service, continuing to draw strong global attention.
