Fans would surely agree that V is one of the idols who ranks among the most dedicated when it comes to staying connected with fans through social media. He is the kind of person who regularly takes the time to chat with ARMYs on Weverse, whether it is through a live broadcast lasting just a few minutes or even when his phone is almost out of battery.
On top of that, V has gone as far as continuously suggesting new ideas to Weverse to improve the user experience. Weverse even awarded him an Honorary Creative Director certificate in recognition of his contributions to the platform, along with a prize worth… 199.512.301.995.123.019.951.230 KRW.
Given how much effort V puts into communicating with ARMYs, fans found it strange that even after returning to кσяєα and taking some time to rest before getting back to his busy tour schedule in October, he had barely gone live at all. Eventually, V himself υиєχρє¢тє∂ly revealed the reason behind his absence!
Specifically, on September 22, a fan left a message on Weverse saying, “I guess since you moved into a new house, doing a live is probably difficult ㅜㅠ,” expressing their disappointment at not having seen V livestream in a while. V actually saw the post and responded directly. The idol replied underneath: “When I go live, I’ve noticed people come to my house. It’s uncomfortable…”
V’s comment immediately left ARMYs “stunned.” It turned out that V had not been livestreaming since returning to кσяєα not because he lacked time or simply wanted to rest, but because he could not do so due to the actions of some inconsiderate people. His response not only answered fans’ questions but also exposed a worrying reality that idols are having to face: serious invasions of privacy by sasaeng fans.
This also reminded fans of several recent reports about Jungkook’s home being surrounded by a group of inconsiderate people. Ever since they learned that Jungkook had returned to кσяєα earlier this month, they have been showing up outside his home, camping there, setting up tripods to film and livestream, and even ringing his doorbell and making noise for hours at a time.
A home is supposed to be the most private and safest place of all. Yet for V, Jungkook, and BTS, they now have to deal with feeling uncomfortable in their own homes because of the bizarre prying eyes of people who refuse to respect their boundaries.
Following V’s comment, many ARMYs expressed their anger over the invasion of the idol’s private space. Genuine fans simply want to connect with their idols through authentic livestreams, but the harαѕѕment caused by a portion of obsessive fans has taken away that simple joy from both the idols and the fan community. At the same time, they also expressed their understanding toward V, saying that he has every right to protect his private space and only go live whenever he feels comfortable and genuinely wants to.
ARMYs hope that after V opened up about the situation, people will become more mindful of respecting his boundaries so that he can continue interacting with fans. Social media was soon flooded with comments, including:
- This is so fcking disgusting bc why are yall going to his house? why can't anyone stay in their limits & not cross the line?? my poor baby must have been so uncomfortable, oh my God, how embarrαѕѕing to put him in such a position just cause yall being weirdos.. I feel so bad
- Poor baby. Reminds me of that ¢яєєρу stalker that got on an elevator with him at his old place and gave him a marriage certificate
- How did these ppl figure out his address ? jungkook's house was posted online but nothing was out about where tae lived.. bro this is a whole another level of ¢яєєρу
- Taehyung loves us armys and keeps us updated with his life happenings. He goes live, he posts pics and videos in IG, he chat in wv. We have to be thankful for his effort. There's no need to go to his house. His house is not a tourist attraction. Respect please!
- Sometimes i remember ppl literally stalk them at their homes and this is already normal to them but every time they say it it literally makes me sick i cant imagine being them
- Imagine just wanting to relax in your own safe space after a long, exhausting day of work, only to look outside and realize a complete stranger is lingering outside your house. leave him alone! Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live. I hope tae files a case against them.
- Fvking WEIRDOS leave TAEHYUNG alone...... What do they expect going to his place that he will invite them in?? Stay far away or you might end up behind bars. Delulus
