While V’s incredible body transformation and his new photo with Jungkook immediately became a hot topic on social media, the focus shifted to a much more meaningful discussion when some fans noticed V wearing a red bracelet on his left arm.

Upon investigating, ARMYs discovered that it wasn’t an ordinary accessory. Known as the “Save One” bracelet, it was created by Save the Children Korea, a humanitarian organization that provides aid to disadvantaged children. The bracelet is reportedly given to donors who regularly sponsor the organization.

This little detail in the gym photos has now become a huge discussion among fans, many of whom were inspired to follow in his footsteps and contribute to similar causes monetarily. Some were also happy that V showed such heartfelt support to an organization that supports relief efforts for the children in Gaza, Palestine, and took it as a sign of subtle support.
