The story went viral, and fans had mixed reactions to it.

Fan shares an anecdote of meeting BTS' V and RM

Social media is buzzing around a recent fan story of a purported coincidental meeting between V and BTS leader RM. According to the fanboy, he encountered the musicians while working out at a Los Angeles gym. He claimed to have recognised V but was unsure about RM because he didn't look like the photos he had taken. He said that V asked him if a specific bench was available for use for working out by tapping his shoulder.

In the midst of his panic over the sudden encounter, the fanboy managed to request a picture. However, as they were engaged in their leisure activities, V and RM politely declined him. The fanboy added that V gave him a smile and said "bye" as he was leaving the gym.
