BTS member Kim Taehyung aka V was mobbed as he attended an event in Japan as the brand ambassador of Celine. The singer was welcomed by a sea of fans hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
In a video that is now going viral, a woman is seen pulling V’s hair and it has left everyone shocked.
V was seen making his way to his car post the event. His bodyguards protected him, but the mob went out of hand and grew closer to him. As he was trying to get into his car, a hand reached out to him and pulled his hair.
Many took to X, previously known as Twitter, to condemn this act.
‘V requested the fans to give him some space but that army still did this stunt to pull his hair shame on you,’ a fan said.
‘This is so unacceptable. Don’t pull/touch Taehyung’s hair. Respect him and please keep your hands to yourself . His safety should be our #1 priority and not have him get hurt,’ added another.
Many also pointed out that there was a time when BTS fans had come up with the purple ribbon project for the safety of the members and BTS members were appreciative of it.
For the unversed, in 2018, a fan from Florida began the Purple Ribbon Project. During BTS’s airport arrivals or departures, fans participating in the Purple Ribbon Project held purple ribbons as a visual reminder to maintain order, respect personal space, and avoid pushing or overcrowding.
