From the lack of content, support, and action, ARMYs are taking action!
The members of BTS have gained so much praise since they debuted for a lot of different reasons. Aside from their insane talent, visuals, and charisma, the members are all extremely hardworking and put 110% into everything they do, and V is no different.
As the members are on a break from group schedules, the group has been focusing on their own promotions and activities.
V is no different and has wowed netizens with the amount of work he’s done. The last year, V has wowed after with his Paris Fashion Week appearance CELINE, his recent Vogue editorial, the filming of In The Soop: Friendcation with the Wooga Squad, and attending the Broker VIP premiere.

Yet, recently, netizens have raised concerns about the treatment of V by HYBE. While V was doing all these solo promotions, ARMYs raised their anger of the lack of exposure of V’s solo activities and promotion of any event attended by him.
The topic became hot on social media over the past few days, with ARMYs trending phrases sharing their anger towards HYBE and love for V.

Although many fans believe that if V was feeling disrespected he would say something, others believe that the evidence of the mistreatment is undeniable. They aren’t aiming the concerns at the other members but at HYBE for their alleged lack of respect and mistreatment of V.
