BTS
is currently in North America amid the Tampa pitstop. In the middle of the band's highly successful ARIRANG World Tour, some of its members stole some time from their busy schedules around choreography sessions, sound check, and costume trials, to indulge in a game of pickleball. Jin, on April 28, posted about having a fun gaming time with V and J-Hope. Though RM, Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook aren't around, the trio is enough to tease ARMYs with what they do on their off day, when they aren't on stage, while touring. BTS has already held two shows in Tampa. It will wrap up the city on April 28 with yet another high-energy performance.
Jin, V, J-Hope's day out on pickleball court
Jin took to his Instagram handle and posted two videos from his pickleball session with Taehyung and Hobi. In one video, Jin and Tae are sitting, watching Hobi play a game. They are moving their heads in perfect sync until a ball lands on them, as we can hear Hobi laugh in the background. In another one, they are playing against each other inside the court. Jin even announced that Taehyung was a "master" at the game. The videos indeed proved V dominating matches in a black tank top, fast rallies, and his own mid-game grin, as J-Hope cheered from the sidelines.
Jin, V, and J-Hope visited Pickle & Pint in Largo, Florida, during their break during the US schedule. They traded stage lights for pickleball paddles on the venue's indoor courts. The videos left ARMYs excited to see their brotherly downtime amid Tampa rehearsals. Many even joked that BTS was embracing Florida's pickleball passion.
