BTS V’s Seemingly NSFW Message On Jimin’s Signed “Layover” Album Actually Has A Very Different Meaning
BTS‘s V gained attention for his message to Jimin on an album that at first seemed NSFW but was actually heartwarming AF.
Since debuting, the two ’95 liners in BTS have always showcased a strong friendship with some truly iconic moments.
On September 15, V performed at Music Bank, but netizens couldn’t get over the fact that Jimin joined him for the recording.
In particular, as Jimin and V were leaving, netizens noticed that Jimin was holding a copy of Layover.
Of course, it had been personally signed by V, but when netizens found out the meaning, they couldn’t stop LOL’ing after seeing that it said, “My friend Jimin (from) your testicle.”
no wonder jimin was holding onto that layover album with everything in him, taehyung wrote "my testicle" on it. no question needed to be asked when it's vmin.

Of course, many fans were taking this from the literal translation of the album, and it seemed hilarious and NSFW. Yet, the translation is actually a common saying in Korea, and Korean men often call their best their “testicle” friend.
When netizens found out the real meaning, it went from hilarious to truly heartwarming, showcasing the strong bond between the two members.
The way Taehyung wrote in Jimin's Layover Album:
"To Jimin:
My friend Jimin, my testicle friend ♥ ︎ (in Korean the term 'testicle friends' means 'childhood friends')OMG 😭😭🥺 pic.twitter.com/9bFfSuUVWs
