On August 1 and 2 (local time), V joined his BTS bandmates for two concerts at MetLife Stadium, drawing a total of 157,000 ARMYs over the two days. During one of the shows, V even took off the shirt he was wearing and gifted it to a male fan from мєχι¢σ. The fan is known for attending multiple BTS concerts wearing outfits that pay homage to V's iconic stage fashion.

Not only did ARMYs from around the world travel to New Jersey to celebrate BTS' return to the venue after seven years, but numerous celebrities also attended the concerts, many of whom have openly expressed their admiration for V. Grammy-winning jazz musician Jon Batiste shared a photo of V appearing on the stadium's giant screen, joking, "So hyped I almost forget my phone." After V responded to the post with a heart and an emoji comment, Jon Batiste replied, "See you in Boston!" Acclaimed actress and singer Lea Salonga also posted a video of V performing "FYA," writing, "Thank you for looking into my camera thv you are truly special!" After V liked her post, Lea Salonga excitedly shared another screenshot confirming his interaction.

While V and fans wrapped up an unforgettable concert experience, news that surfaced shortly after the show left many ARMYs worried: the vehicle carrying V was involved in a minor traffic α¢¢ι∂єит. Fortunately, the BTS member was not injured. However, what happened afterward drew even greater attention, as the actions of several fans at the scene sparked widespread outrage within the fandom!

According to reports shared by local fans, the vehicle transporting V from MetLife Stadium after the concert was rear-ended by another car. The α¢¢ι∂єит was reportedly caused by heavy traffic as thousands of concertgoers poured onto nearby roads after the event concluded. Thankfully, no one was injured, and V was confirmed to be safe.

However, because the vehicle could not continue moving until ρσℓι¢є had finished handling the incident, the idol got out of the car and walked the remaining distance back to his hotel, accompanied by his manager and security team. Instead of keeping a respectful distance to protect his privacy and safety, several fans began gathering around V despite repeated instructions from security to step back.

They closely followed him the entire way, repeatedly calling out his name while filming him from close range all the way to the hotel entrance. Some even uploaded the footage to social media afterward.

As the videos spread online, they quickly ignited heated debate. Many fans argued that the behavior amounted to stalking, as it not only invaded V's personal space but also exposed the location of his hotel, potentially encouraging more obsessive individuals to seek him out and disturb both him and the other BTS members. Fans also pointed out that V had just experienced a traffic α¢¢ι∂єит and was likely exhausted after performing an energetic concert. Rather than being able to return to his hotel and rest, he instead had to endure being followed, shouted at, and filmed throughout the walk.

Across multiple social media platforms, ARMYs strongly condemned the behavior, emphasizing that respecting an artist's personal space, privacy, and safety should always come first. Many also urged others not to share or circulate videos obtained through such invasive behavior, arguing that doing so only encourages conduct that crosses the line between genuine fandom and stalking. Comments included:

- I was in complete ѕнσ¢к on TikTok and jumped straight to X. Honestly, I'm scared this might be planned given all the news going around right now. Thank goodness V is okay, but why do those people keep following and bothering him?

- Stop spreading and sharing stalker content, you ppl are part of the problem, the one who took the video keep following him even when the bodyguards told them to backup

- Why the fυ¢к would you follow him if such event took place? Like wtf you think you trying sticking camera onto his face and the situation? It such invasion of privacy and also so ∂αми unnecessary. He and his entire team must be stressed out by the situation and yet here you

- Why are you sharing a video clearly recorded without his consent about a private situation, and even giving clout to someone who was following him?

- This sh1t is my biggest nightmare. I can’t handle seeing bts getting hurt or be in any kind of α¢¢ι∂єитs

- Thank god he was safe. May he always stay safe and healthy. I sincerely hope it was not a paparazzi or a saesang

- MYbe it was all the ppl following him to get videos rhat caused the α¢¢ι∂єит. STOP FOLLOWING HIM

- Why is someone following him and recording him? Do they/you not care about his safety? This is not Army behavior! Shame on them!

- I know your concerned about his safety but please do share the stalkers video. This video is disturbing
