BTS V’s Recent Photo Sparks Major Backlash For Treatment Of Jimin

BTS V‘s recent picture has come under major backlash after netizens hit back at the idol’s treatment of Jimin.

Amid BTS’s tour, V has been updating fans with photos, and the idol recently shared a photo of himself and four of the other members, without Jimin or Suga.

While it isn’t uncommon for the members to be in groups or not all of them to be there, the controversy was sparked after J-Hope posted a photo from the same venue and angle but with all the members present.

This led to a major wave of backlash towards V, especially from Jimin fans, who thought that, despite there being an OT7 picture, the idol purposefully chose to post one that didn’t include all the members, including Jimin. It led to some brutal criticism towards the idol, with many believing he was trying to leave out Jimin for specific reasons.

so there’s actually an ot7 pic indeed but i guess
certain someone purposely uploaded with only five members making the entire corn obsessed fandom to make weird and disgusting assumptions about jimin

so he definitely had an ot7 pic on his phone but chose to only post the five of them, which caused his shippers to go ballistic on jm and sexualize him for nothing 🫩
