During the live, netizens noticed that as V had a hold of Jimin’s hand and moved, Jimin seemed to get hurt as their hands separated.

When the post was shared, netizens criticized V for being careless, and even after seemingly knowing about Jimin’s injury, he was being “rough” with him and pulling his arm, which would impact his shoulder.

You can see the difference
when Jungkook apologized,even though he wasn’t the one who stepped on him and saw what they call a “soulmate”

All this because Jungkook hasn’t give you any attention to you🥴 https://t.co/z66MwkDKn0 pic.twitter.com/t8GsFdJUgs

Yet, many fans defended V, explaining that Jimin grabbed onto his hand and kept holding it.

Jimin is the one who grabbed Tae’s hand and kept holding it not letting go😭😭😭

Jimin was the one who was holding on to Th. Th was walking in hurry so obviously he wouldn’t notice. Jimin should be careful & left his hand. Th doesn’t have third eye to notice everything! So🖕 https://t.co/285HiLPSg7
