Remember when BTS's V stole the spotlight from 'Squid Game'? The Pink Soldier moment that sparked buzz
The Pink Soldier That Conquered Social Media Picture this: You're at a BTS concert in Los Angeles in 2021, and suddenly one of the world's biggest K-pop stars emerges dressed as a menacing pink soldier from the hit series 'Squid Game. ' That's exactly what happened when BTS member V decided to surprise fans during their Permission to Dance concert series, creating a moment that would break the internet not just once, but repeatedly over the years. The video of V's dramatic reveal - where he removes the iconic triangular mask to show his face - has now accumulated massive viewership across various short video platforms. What makes this even more remarkable is that V doesn't maintain personal accounts on most of these platforms, yet his content consistently outperforms dedicated influencers and content creators. The impact was immediate and global. Netflix itself couldn't resist commenting, stating "We're obsessed with BTS X Squid Game, but V should never wear a mask". The concert moment became a perfect storm of cultural phenomena - combining the global Squid Game craze with BTS's massive fanbase. The timing couldn't have been better, as Squid Game had just taken the world by storm, and V's playful interpretation of the show's menacing guards created an irresistible contrast that social media algorithms loved. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Numbers Game: Why This Video Keeps Winning What's fascinating about V's viral moment is how it demonstrates the power of authentic, spontaneous content. The video has generated significant engagement across multiple platforms, garnering millions of views and countless interactions from fans worldwide. The original concert footage shows V appearing on stage wearing the complete pink soldier uniform, complete with the triangular mask that became synonymous with the series. As the music builds, he slowly removes the mask to reveal his face, sending the concert audience into absolute hysteria. The moment was perfectly choreographed yet felt completely natural - a testament to V's stage presence and understanding of viral content. The Ripple Effect: From Concert Stage to Cultural Phenomenon The video gained renewed attention when Squid Game Season 2 was announced in December 2024. Billboard Korea highlighted how "concert videos and photos are going viral again," showcasing the enduring power of V's moment. This resurgence demonstrates how certain content transcends its original context to become timeless digital artifacts. The phenomenon extends beyond just views. The video sparked countless recreation attempts, memes, and reaction videos across multiple platforms. International K-pop fans created their own versions, with some attempting to recreate the exact moment while others used it as inspiration for Halloween costumes and themed photoshoots. Professional choreographers and dance studios worldwide began incorporating elements of V's dramatic reveal into their own performances. The mask removal became a signature move that many tried to replicate, though few could match V's natural charisma and timing. The Social Media King Without a Crown Perhaps the most impressive aspect of V's digital dominance is that he achieves these numbers without dedicated personal accounts on many major platforms. His collaborations and appearances consistently break records - his recent dance video with choreographer Lee Jung Lee set another milestone with substantial engagement. V's success reflects broader trends in the global digital landscape, where authentic, entertaining content performs exceptionally well. Short-form video platforms have created ecosystems where genuine moments can achieve massive reach. The fact that V's 2021 concert moment continues generating views in 2025 speaks to the timeless nature of quality content. The BTS member has also participated in viral trends like the "aura farming kid" dance, showing his ability to bridge Korean pop culture with global internet phenomena. His content consistently demonstrates that in the age of short-form video, personality and authenticity matter more than polished production values. This Squid Game moment perfectly encapsulates why V remains one of the most talked-about figures in global entertainment - his ability to create culturally resonant content that transcends language barriers and platform limitations continues to set new benchmarks for viral success.

'Love it or hate it...': What Shooter McGavin ‘said' about Happy Gilmore 2 reviews
It has been thirty years almost since Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore managed to beat Christopher McDonald's Shooter McGavin at golf, but Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, sees the actor reprise his role as the pro golfer. The profile on X, going by the name Shooter McGavin, has had interactions with Fred Couples, the pro golfer who made a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. (AP) While Happy Gilmore 2 packed a hefty dose of nostalgia and peppered the story with cameos – all designed to take fans down the memory lane – the movie apparently got mixed reviews. While some loved the memories it brought back, others felt the sequel failed to live up to the mark. Amid contending narratives online, a profile calling itself Shooter McGavin has shared its opinions on Happy Gilmore 2 reviews. What Shooter McGavin said about Happy Gilmore 2 reviews? The profile with McGavin's name shared an image with the text 'Hate me or love me, you watched.' The profile captioned it saying 'How I feel about all the Happy Gilmore 2 reviews I'm seeing.' Notably, McGavin is not a real person and is just a character portrayed by McDonald. However, the profile seems to have had very real interactions with actual golfing legends. Fred Couples who has a cameo in Adam Sandler's movie, tagged the X profile named after McGavin and wrote 'Welcome to the Gold Jacket Club,' adding, 'Your Gold Jacket will look good next to the @PresidentsCup trophy!' To this, the X profile named after McGavin replied 'Thank you Fred. The Presidents Cup would look great in my trophy room.' Notably, the Gold Jacket was something McGavin had coveted and lost in the first Happy Gilmore movie. During the filming of the sequel, star Adam Sandler took the chance to give the actor the gold jacket. 'Shooter finally gets what's coming to him,' Sandler wrote when posting the clip of him handing the jacket to McDonald. The profile named after McGavin also shared this video, remarking 'For the record… This was just Gilmore returning to Shooter what was rightfully his.'
