'Mahal ko kayo' trends after V of BTS says it in live broadcast

Filipino ARMYs are at their happiest after V of BTS said "I love you" in Tagalog during a live broadcast.

Through a VLive stream on Monday, BTS members V, Suga, and J-Hope spent almost an hour talking to their fans.

Suddenly, while reading the comments, V said "mahal ko kayo."

This, of course, made their fans in the Philippines go crazy, making it trend on Philippine Twitter. As of writing, it's on the third spot with over 16,000 tweets.

According to the fans, this is V's third time saying the sentence. For reference, an ARMY even shared photos of the previous mentions.

Another fan, meanwhile, stated that V "remembered and knew what it means" so that's probably why he's been saying it a lot.

In another livestream in May 2020, V and fellow BTS member Jungkook also sent their fans over the moon when they repeatedly said "mahal ko kayo."

Along with other members RM, Jimin, and Jin, BTS recently released their new Japanese single "Film Out." —Franchesca Viernes/MGP, GMA News
