BTS and SEVENTEEN’s friendship is an open secret in the K-pop industry, where the members often interact with each other, showcasing their relationship. In various events, the members of both groups are often seen interacting with each other, which then turns into adorable moments forever cherished by fans of both groups. However, one such incident has remained in everyone’s hearts for years to come.

When SEVENTEEN's Joshua and Hoshi ran to hug BTS' V

In 2016, after years of hard work and struggle, BTS finally won the Daesang Award, which is the highest accolade a group achieves during annual awards. That year, the group won the Artist of the Year at the MAMA Awards. The group was equally shocked by the announcement, as they were not expecting to win the accolade during the event. They defeated groups such as EXO, TWICE, Gfriend, and soloist Taeyeon to take the trophy home.

After the group made their winning speech, as they were walking off the stage, SEVENTEEN’s Joshua and Hoshi ran towards BTS member V, Kim Taehyung, to congratulate them on the win. The single moment indicates the mutual respect they have for each other and how they have shared a special bond for years. Moreover, both groups are also under the same label, strengthening their friendship over the years.
