A clip accusing V of being racist has sparked fury.
Recently, a user online posted a video of BTS’s V from the Mnet show American Hustle Life. In the video, there was a woman named Victoria who captured the hearts of fans with her bond with the members, but the OP claimed that a video of V’s reaction when she tried to hug him was “racist.” Another user then went viral by reposting the video and adding that V was “genuinely disgusted he had to touch a black woman.”

Yet, netizens quickly hit back at the disgusting lies within the tweet.
In the quotes and comments, fans shared the full context of the video and the screenshot that was shared, explaining that V did hug Victoria but that in that moment, he was shy. Many were also disgusted that a tweet with such a serious accusation was going viral and attracting so much attention, despite being false.
In fact, he did hug Victoria when she arrived; he received her with open arms. But then, when she hugged him back, he became shy; he was just a shy teenager Eleven years have passed since that moment, but they continue to use it to spread misinformation. pic.twitter.com/yom5E5wsUm
