Before getting into the main topic, it should be emphasized that the friendship among BTS members has been so good and close throughout the past decade. The friendship tattoos with the number 7 are among the most genuine symbols of their strong bond. Therefore, no one can ever provoke or damage the relationship among the members.
However, toxic individuals or solo stans with distorted mindsets seem to particularly enjoy attacking the friendship between the members. Despite the fact that the members are close friends who truly cherish one another, these self-proclaimed fans attempt to bring down and hurt their idol’s best friend.
Of course, these negative actions cannot harm the friendship among the members. In fact, the members themselves are not even aware of such ridiculous acts. Yet true fans cannot tolerate how these people are sabotaging the group and defaming any of its members. Real ARMYs have expressed anger and immediately reported these toxic cases to HYBE.
Most recently, ARMYs reported several social media accounts of solo stans who targeted V – Jimin’s closest friend. These individuals attacked him irrationally, accusing him of вυℓℓуing and betraying Jimin, and even submitting so-called “evidence” to the кσяєαn Embαѕѕy in мєχι¢σ, demanding an investigation into the matter.
Specifically, this absurd incident started when some toxic individuals claimed that V only replied to fan posts on Weverse that featured the tiger and rabbit emojis (in the fandom, the rabbit represents Jungkook and the tiger represents V) while ignoring posts from Jimin’s fans.
In reality, fans provided counter-evidence showing that V had randomly responded to many posts that day, not selectively. The haters clearly knew this, since Weverse shows a list of all notifications, but they twisted the narrative and made others misunderstand it.
Moreover, these accounts went so far as to insist that V’s actions had “provoked” negative comments against Jimin. They also claimed this was proof that Jimin was being “bullied” within the group, and began defaming V’s reputation and character with harsh words.
Even worse, one particularly toxic individual directly reported this case to the кσяєαn Ambαѕѕador in мєχι¢σ and a HYBE мєχι¢σ staff member. This woman gathered “evidence” from various accounts, accusing V of being responsible for the hate and defamation aimed at Jimin. She then compiled it all into a paper file and a USB drive, which she submitted during the event “Proyecto Industrias Creativas de Corea: Lecciones para América Latina,” attended by those important figures.
She even took photos at the event to prove she had actually done it. She also sent those photos to another fan to include in a post calling on others to “urge the embαѕѕy to investigate Taehyung” — to make it look more credible and stir up outrage.
After witnessing this series of extreme actions from those who hate V, ARMYs felt both amused and furious. They couldn’t understand how people who call themselves fans could go this far against V, especially when Jimin has always cherished him as his best friend. Clearly, the mentality and personality of these toxic individuals are distorted to the extreme.
ARMYs have left numerous comments calling on genuine fans to report the accounts defaming V, as well as the individual who submitted the “evidence,” to BigHit for legal action. They also encouraged others to avoid arguing and instead trend supportive hashtags for V and Jimin or send them kind and positive messages:
- Really doing anything at this point. They're so insane
- Everyone, please report these toxic accounts to BigHit. They’re spreading false accusations and trying to ruin BTS. This has gone too far
- Why do they call themselves as fans of anyone else? They're so embarrαѕѕing, it's disgusting... This isn't just akgaes, but straight up criminals
- I don't even want to call them mentally ill, literally criminals..
- No but why do they need to drag their delusions to reality? Wow I can't even fathom how they think this is allowed
- It's because they didn't get enough hate all this time that they're going further and further every time
- It really doesn’t make sense that someone that mentally unstable managed to attend an event where even the Mexican ambαѕѕador was present, personally hand over materials, and not only wasn’t stopped — but even proudly posted proof of it herself, lol. What’s more, the HYBE мєχι¢σ representative was also there, so it was definitely a situation where she could’ve been stopped right on the spot.
- How crazy do you have to be to actually go all the way to the embαѕѕy and do soмєтнing like that..?
- Report the person who submitted the fake evidence and every account attacking V. HYBE needs to see this and take legal action
- These so-called fans are damaging BTS’s reputation. Report them through BigHit’s official form — we need to protect the members from this hate
