V remained silent at this moment, which was noticed by viewers.
Many commented their belief that his silence meant that he was already in a relationship.

Others pushed back against these ideas, stating that V’s silence didn’t necessarily mean anything and to stop the assumptions.
tae is the definition of damned if you do damned if you don’t if he had said anything they’d dissect his words and twist into whatever they wanted it to mean he kept his mouth shut and let the topic go and people are still dissecting his silence and adding their own meaning to it https://t.co/RK2eeQjPYb

How did you heteronormative mfs take Tae’s silence as confirmation that he’s in a relationship, or that the other is soft-launching? You’re no better than those shippers stop assuming things on their behalf. https://t.co/LUz1PosH21

I feel bad for Tae. If he says something, they twist his words, and if he says nothing, they still dissect and analyze it however they want. He’s almost always been overanalyzed, not just by antis but by fans too. I know y’all want to prove you’d be okay if he dated or got… https://t.co/cRL9c8OFm9
