BTS's V Finally Meets Jon Batiste IRL At The 2022 GRAMMYs

BTS‘s V finally got to meet Jon Batiste in real life, and fans are living for their interactions!

In March, Jon Batiste praised V and the other BTS members’ musical talents during a #GRAMMYsAsk interview on Twitter. He also revealed that he had been in contact with V, and his kind words made fans wonder if the two would be collaborating on V’s highly anticipated solo mixtape.
