BTS’s V is raising eyebrows after suddenly deleting a photo from his Instagram Story following recent dating rumors.
On December 19, V shared two charming photobooth pictures with popular actor Park Bo Gum on Instagram, tagging him in the post. The photos were taken at the Celine 2025 End of Year Party in Seoul, where the pair were in attendance alongside stars like Suzy and TWS.
Shortly afterwards, however, V abruptly deleted the Story entirely, leading fans to speculate why. Now, some are wondering whether recent dating rumors are to blame.
At the Celine party on December 17, a clip of V and Park Bo Gum embracing quickly went viral on social media.

When netizens saw the video, they joked that the footage looked just like a Dispatch couple reveal.
While most were being light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek with their words, several fans have now voiced concerns that the “shipping” comments could be why V chose to remove the photo.
I don’t think Tae deleted his Story because someone could be jelouse. He deleted it because of the idiots who ship him with Bogum . Tae is on X ,he sees your delulu tweets

The BTS star has been close friends with Park Bo Gum for at least a decade, and the pair often show their support and care for each other in public.
Ultimately, the reason why the post was deleted remains unknown. That being said, it’s well known that V is often highly aware of what fans are saying online. Back in September, after fans questioned his visuals on Weverse, V went on to delete the Instagram photos they’d been discussing.
