Recently, an Instagram user named Kim Ki Tae, who reportedly served in the military with BTS member V, gained attention after sharing stories about the idol’s time in service. His videos quickly spread among fans, with many praising him for speaking warmly about V and giving behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the military.

At first, the videos appeared to be received positively by some fans, especially because they described V in a favorable light. However, the mood changed after V himself appeared in the comments. His comment was short and unclear, but that was exactly what made it spread so quickly. Fans began wondering whether V was joking, politely reacting, or subtly expressing discomfort over the former soldier repeatedly posting stories about him.

The comment immediately sparked different interpretations online. Some fans believed his response was harmless and showed that he was aware of the posts. Others argued that even positive stories about celebrities during military service can become sensitive when they involve private moments shared without clear permission.

  • Bro, stop.
  • This is the type of man who would be like “V hyung , I’m getting married!” at his own wedding.
  • Make your own content…
  • Hey, we told you to stop.
  • You were with V for about four weeks, and now you’re making reels one after another, selling V’s name, selling his private life, and eating up views. Do you really think this is okay? And of course V won’t be like ‘Hey, stop.’ He wouldn’t want to embarrass you like that. Please take the hint when people are being nice about it.
  • Please stop already. Why do you think his fans don’t want these videos? Does he not understand that these are private stories V probably doesn’t want publicly shared?

Amid mixed reactions to his videos about V’s military service, Kim Ki Tae uploaded what he described as his “final video” about the BTS member. In the caption, he explained that while many people enjoyed the videos, he also saw comments from fans who wanted V, also known as Kim Taehyung, to personally share the remaining stories someday.

Kim Ki Tae said: “Some people were disappointed, and many people enjoyed my videos, but there were also many people who said they wanted Taehyung hyung to talk about the later stories himself someday, so I decided to wrap things up as of today.” He added that he had thought about making the video for 2 years before finally sharing it.

The conversation changed again when V himself left a comment under the post. He wrote: “Hey, why? Go ahead and keep telling more. This is so fun. I don’t even remember these things.” The comment immediately became the center of debate.

Some fans interpreted V’s words as friendly encouragement. To them, the comment showed that V was amused by the videos and had no problem with Kim Ki Tae continuing to share stories. They believed V had personally given him permission to continue. However, others focused on the line: “I don’t even remember these things.”

Kim Ki Tae appeared to take V’s new comment as approval. He replied: “Taehyung hyung, got it!! Then I’ll keep going knowing things are good.” He also added sunglasses and thumbs-up emojis before uploading another video, which further fueled the debate.

For supporters, V’s comment was clear enough: he was fine with the stories continuing. For critics, the situation still feels excessive, especially when the videos center on personal memories from V’s military life.
