He confessed that he was experiencing the symptoms of his chronic condition at the time and simply commented, “No, I have a cholinergic allergy, I’m itchy, itchy.”
Cholinergic urticaria is a type of skin rash that looks like a number of small, itchy red bumps, which commonly afflicts young adults.
Apparently, “cholinergic hives” began trending on several Korean portal sites shortly after V had uploaded the post on his condition and eventually the search term hit the No. 1 spot on Naver’s realtime search rankings.
The smashing South Korean music outfit will be heading to Saudi Arabia on Oct 11 to perform for fans at the King Fadh International Stadium in Riyadh, which is said to have a 68,000 seating capacity.
