Taking to their Instagram account, Running Man also posted a photo of V’s name tag. It is used while the cast plays a game on the show. It captioned the post, “Running man X BTS V. September 10th On Air.”

Reacting to the post, a fan wrote, “Taehyung mentioned his dream on Weverse was to come on running man and his dream came true. Taehyung will be on running man.” Another person said, “We are so excited for Taehyung.” A comment read, “I wish Taehyung to get to play sports games because he’s so good at it but he already filmed right so yeah I’m late to suggest but still excited for it.” An Instagram user commented, “Is RM coming too (asking because he is also tagged).”
