Yet, fans quickly defended V from the accusations, explaining that it was probably deleted due to V wanting to protect the privacy of the staff in the video.
THIS VIDEO IS NOT AI. Please stop spreading lies. Taehyung probably deleted it because of bodyguards privacy. Why would he post AI of himself wtf? https://t.co/ar4NxVWJMt pic.twitter.com/EDvXs9Y59F
