Within the framework of the “BTS World Tour Arirang in Tampa,” V captivated global fans with a level of appeal even “hotter” than the local weather. At every show, he completely commanded the stage with powerful performances and explosive vocal strength that cut through the entire sound system, pushing the concert atmosphere to its peak. In particular, his unbelievably handsome visuals—likened to a “game character come to life”—sent the entire stadium into a frenzy of cheers and admiration whenever he appeared on the big screen.

Throughout the concert run, he continuously broke records for the highest mentions and searches across social media and Google. His videos on Reels and Shorts also became major talking points, racking up tens of millions of views. His fan community in the United States even carried out meaningful projects in every city he visited, demonstrating strong support for both him and BTS.

While the afterglow of happiness between V and fans following the Tampa concert had not yet faded, troublemakers had already emerged. In recent hours, a series of posts exposing the truth about several “lucky” ARMYs who attended BTS’s Tampa shows have drawn mαѕѕive attention from the community, reaching from 200,000 to over half a million views.

The first incident involves a fan account who uploaded an Instagram reel capturing the moment of ARMYs appeared on the big screen during the concert. Her post υиєχρє¢тє∂ly received a like from V. There would have been nothing noteworthy—until fans discovered that this account owner was an “OT6,” a term used for those who do not support all seven members. Ironically, the one member she excluded was V himself.

Specifically, this account followed all members of BTS except V, and only posted content related to the other six. It was only after V liked her post and other fans exposed and criticized her that she began following his Instagram account.

Another incident that similarly angered fans involved the individual who was fortunate enough to receive a signed ball from V during the rehearsal before the final show at Raymond James Stadium. He had gifted a signed rugby ball as a surprise present to a Tampa fan. However, not long after the rehearsal ended, netizens uncovered information suggesting that the recipient was highly likely to be an anti of V.

This suspicion arose when another individual posted a photo with the ball and claimed to be a friend of the person who received it from V. However, this friend’s social media account showed a long history of interactions, retweets, and follows connected to many anti-V accounts, as well as extreme content insulting the idol. Birds of a feather flock together, as people often say, so it’s not unlikely that the person who owns the ball may also be another V anti joker.

These two consecutive incidents have stirred the ARMY community. Many expressed disappointment that moments meant to be positive ended up in the hands of individuals who do not genuinely support V. Moreover, some criticized them for being insincere and allegedly taking advantage of his kindness for attention while speaking negatively about him behind his back. The outrage among fans is now spreading widely, with ongoing discussions:

- Can't believe these are the ones getting tickets to attend the concert lmao. Idk what one sided beef these ppl have with him

- The fact that Taehyungie liking the video and giving his ball without knowing these people are his antis

- This is to show that the BTS members would never imagine that they're solo stans. They see everyone as ARMY who loves ALL the members. And I can't imagine it either, why would you not love one member?

- Now that she's exposed, she's trying to cover it up by sharing Tae's vid from the concert. I hate these people so much

- These type of people gets concert tickets, gets notice by tannies and more ....why always them. So sad all the members they are so kind

- I will never understand how ppl can hate Taehyung, like he is one of the sweetest and most humble person out there. I feel so sad seeing these ppl hating on him for zero reasons

- The members and Tae are really humble and innocent. They have no idea who's actually an army and who isn't

- This girl is a Tae anti, for real. She only followed him after he liked her video. What kind of sons of b*tches are you guys? I’m losing it at how even antis can go to the concert, and on top of that, she got a like from the very man she hates. It's driving me crazy.

- I'm losing it... poor him, he just likes things blindly because he enjoys the clip and has a kind heart. And then there’s this b*tch—the audacity she has to delete comments from anyone calling her out for being a hypocrite. I swear, he’s too good for her; these low-lifes don’t deserve him at all
