Seoul: BTS’ V, also known as Kim Taehyung, recently shared a screenshot on Instagram revealing that he has achieved the Diamond IV rank in the popular online game, League of Legends.
However, he soon deleted the Instagram story.
League of Legends, developed by Riot Games, is a multiplayer battle arena video game where five players from two teams engage in player-versus-player scuffles, defending and capturing parts of the game map. The players control characters called Champions, each of whom possesses special abilities for self-protection and combat. The game is free to play and monetized through character purchases by players.
As BTS’ V shared his League of Legends ranking, he accidentally unveiled that he had achieved Diamond IV. This particular ranking is considered one of the most challenging to attain in the game.
