Song Kang and BTS V became close friends during their military service... "Exercising, gaming, and eating together"

Actor Song Kang revealed his friendship with V (BTS) during his military service. On the 25th, Song Kang appeared on the YouTube channel ’TEO Teo’ in the web variety show ’Salon Drip’ and stated that he built a close relationship with V while serving in the same military unit. According to Song Kang, the two became close through a mutual acquaintance during their military service. Song Kang explained that V served as a Special Duty Team (SDT) military police officer, while he served as a regular soldier. They often coordinated their days off on weekdays to go out together for meals or visit PC rooms, and five members from V’s unit and five from Song Kang’s unit gathered to enjoy 5-on-5 team games. Regarding how they addressed each other during military service, Song Kang explained that since they belonged to different units, they called each other by their last names with the honorific ″ssi.″ About meal expenses, Song Kang said, ″He paid for them,″ and added that he also bought meals a few times when he lost in games or bowling. He also shared his thoughts on military life. Song Kang said that after completing his service, he felt at ease and became more relaxed on acting sets. He mentioned that military life was enjoyable and that he still maintains close friendships with the comrades he served with. The connection between Song Kang and V continued even after their discharge. In June last year, footage of the two exercising together was released, and in October, they were seen running at Hangang Jamsu Bridge with actors Kim Young Dae and Jung Gun Joo, followed by a meal at a barbecue restaurant. At the end of November, they were again spotted meeting at a barbecue restaurant. When V was discharged in June last year, he shared a four-shot photo taken with Song Kang and left a supportive message saying, ″Good job lol.″
