BTS fans, especially those who admire Kim Taehyung, also known as V, were outraged by a recent post by a journalist who has more than 2.5 million followers on Weibo. The journalist, who works for Critics Choice, a prestigious media organization, can be seen expressing her rude comments for V in a very harsh and offensive way in a screenshot that is going viral.
According to a screenshot shared by BlockForV, a fan account dedicated to V on Twitter, the journalist wrote:
“A lot of people say I’m double-faced or divisive, and that I repeat myself. But I can officially tell you that I really hate Kim Taehyung. This dislike has reached the point of hate. So it’s definitely not for attracting attention or traffic, but really wishing for him to disappear from the earth. When I see his picture now, I don’t find him handsome or cute at all, I just feel disgusted. Never hated a star so much, really.”
The post quickly went viral and sparked a huge backlash from fans, who defended V and called out the journalist for her unprofessional and hateful behavior. They also reported her to Critics Choice and demanded an apology.
The journalist claims that she deleted her Weibo account and sent a private message to a fan on Twitter, claiming that her post was mistranslated and that she never wished harm on V. She apologized for her actions and asked fans to stop harassing her. She also said that she would never repeat her behavior.
However, many fans were not satisfied with her apology and questioned its sincerity.
Critics Choice responded to the reports by saying that they do not condone this behavior and that they are looking into it.
Taehyung is one of the most popular and talented members of BTS, a global phenomenon and one of the most successful musical acts in history.
