A resurfaced photo of BTS’s V has become a hot topic online, drawing sharp criticism from netizens who took issue with the idol’s playful pose and look.
The image, originally shared months ago, has unexpectedly reignited debate over his public image and demeanor.
The photo in question, taken on July 7, shows V wearing a tank top layered with a white cloth, tucked in a way that resembles a baby’s bib.
While many fans initially viewed it as a lighthearted or behind-the-scenes moment, its recent circulation has sparked backlash from netizens who found his pose and outfit immature.

A few even claimed that the idol’s behavior contradicted past remarks where he allegedly expressed dislike for such personalities following his military enlistment.
Didn’t he say that he doesn’t like people who act childish or sum https://t.co/6mUDrpq1ux pic.twitter.com/f2L3SQsmnf

🐨 : Why are you T?
🐯 I really can't stand people with childish behavior now. For real!
Taehyung used 어리광 which means those with immature/childish behavior; deliberately acting like a child to win favor

This is not the first time V’s visuals or demeanor have become a flashpoint for discussion among online communities. As one of BTS’s most high-profile members, nearly every photo or video he posts tends to generate polarized reactions — whether for his fashion choices, expressions, or overall image.
