Recently, a clip showing BTS member V playing around on stage with a plastic ball became a hot topic. The singer was seen kicking the ball at such an angle that it flew to the standing ection of the audience. Fortunately the ball bounced off the barricade, stopping short of hitting an audience member.

Though V appeared to be jesting with fans in the moment, the clip has drawn major flak from netizens. People primarily took issue with the lack of apology on V’s part after almost hitting the fan.

Shooting the ball at his female fan with THAT much force and not even panicking or apologizing… what a pathetic manchild https://t.co/XwnigEABQZ

However, many fans defended V, arguing that he was simply playing around with a ball that was likely given to him by fans in the first place. Some also compared the incident with other idols throwing plushies or t-shirts toward the crowd, arguing that the flimsy ball wouldn’t have hurt the fan either.
tæhyung really is the first K-pop idol to get hated for tossing around a plastic ball his own fans brought for him 😭 https://t.co/QGCdh87o1N

He didn’t hit anyone, it is very VERY clear from the video. But here’s mine too.
And I think you guys are paying attention to the wrong thing. That squishy football never should’ve made it inside the stadium. What was security even doing? https://t.co/xqzY5SmV9b pic.twitter.com/rFEBKXsjA4
