The incident of V BTS (Bangtan Boys) following Jennie BLACKPINK (Black Pink) on Instagram is still a hot topic. Recently, netizens have shared photos taken from V's live broadcast in 2020, sparking allegations that he has been using Instagram since a year ago.
Following Jennie's mis-follow incident, screenshots from V broadcast in 2020 were shared again. V's phone screen is displayed directly, and the Instagram notification icon is visible.
With this "evidence", netizens are claiming that V may have been using Instagram secretly since last year, instead of starting to use it recently. Some netizens also criticized V and accused him of pretending to be ignorant on Instagram.
Initially many people thought that V accidentally followed Jennie because of the owner of the name Kim Taehyung but immediately went to Weverse, calling Instagram a scary application. He also asked fans to tell him how to turn off the recommendation feature.
Netizens regretted V's attitude as if he was clueless with Instagram. But some defend it on the grounds that people who have an Instagram account for years will also be clueless if they never use it.
In addition, ARMY commented that maybe the phone with the Instagram notification icon on V Live doesn't belong to V, but one of the staff, because idols can't show their personal phones on live broadcasts. Currently the topic is still a debate among netizens.
"Doesn't he already have the Instagram app on his phone. If he didn't say anything, people would think it was just a mistake and just let it go. Why does he feel the need to pretend he's using Instagram for the first time and get involved in all this trouble?" netizen comments.
"Using Instagram for a long time doesn't mean one has to know everything about the app," added another netizen. "I don't mind if V has had Instagram for a long time, but why does he have to complain on Weverse like he doesn't know anything?" concluded another. What do you think? (wk/chus)
