Since she created her Instagram account, Taehyung only followed seven people on her profile. However, last Saturday, January 14, the BTS member surprised fans when he raised that number to eight following T.O.P, a member of BIGBANG.
Although several users reacted with excitement at the interaction between the idols of both major boybands in the K-Pop industry, other fans surprised with criticism of V for being linked with a “controversial” figure.

The chaos related to the BIGBANG member did not last long, as hours later, V unfollowed T.O.P’s account, for this reason, many believe it was accidental as in the incident related to Jennie.
T.O.P became a controversial figure when he was prosecuted in 2017 for marijuana use, an illegal substance in South Korea. After serving his sentence, the artist returned to music in 2022 in BIGBANG’s comeback “Still life“.
