During Idol Room, Paul Kim revealed the story of when BTS‘s V asked him to hang out over dinner, which ultimately sparked their close friendship!

Their friendship first started when Paul Kim was feeling lonely as he was surrounded by idols who had their own groups at the awards ceremony. But a ray of light shone through when V took the initiative to approach him first!

I received his help once.

I went to an awards ceremony once and I was alone since everyone was a group. Since I was alone, [V] came up to take care of me.

He told me, ‘Come sit next to me.’ He took the initiative to start up conversations with me first.
