BTS members Jimin and V became the focus of intense online discussion after a moment during a live stream on December 16, 2025. During the moment, fans noticed V holding Jimin’s hand while moving, and when their hands separated unexpectedly, Jimin appeared to get hurt. Clips of the moment spread quickly, and reactions followed almost immediately.
Some users accused V of being careless, especially because Jimin is known to have chronic shoulder pain. Comments claimed V was too rough and did not check on him afterward, which sparked frustration and controversy among some fans. The situation escalated fast, with users posting their thoughts on the moment between V and Jimin.
At the same time, many fans stepped in to defend V. They explained that Jimin was the one holding onto his hand and that V was walking quickly and likely did not notice anything was wrong. Supporters argued that the moment was being overanalyzed and taken out of context, turning a split second into an aggressive controversy. Meanwhile, BTS is now in preparation mode for their 206 comeback, which is said to come with a full-length album and a massive world tour.
