The members' daily lives, offering a glimpse into their personas offstage, were also shared with fans. On August 7, BTS's official Instagram uploaded a video and photos of the members eating watermelon with the caption, "Guess what this watermelon is?"

In the video, V is seen wearing a red and green color-blocked T-shirt while accidentally making a mess while eating.
