The two practiced making paper carnations, a traditional gift for Parent's Day which Korea celebrates on May 8.

While scrolling through the comments, V noticed the phrase "Mahal ko kayo."

"Mahal ko kayo. What is that?" he asks.

"It sounds familiar," Jungkook answers.

The two went on the repeat the phrase, trying to recall what it means.

"Does it mean 'I love you?'" Jungkook ponders.

While unsure of the phrase's meaning, they admit that they heard it a lot and even said it a few times on tour.

"Mahal ko kayo. Does this mean 'I love you?' It means 'I like you,' doesn't it? We said it during our tour," V says.

"Yes we did when we were on tour," Jungkook agreed.

Watch the boys create paper carnations and discuss "Mahal ko kayo" in their two-part video.
