HYBE’s Latest BTS Announcement Earns Heated Reactions
In August, BTS‘s Jungkook and Jimin‘s new Disney+ travel reality show Are You Sure?! premiered. The show followed the two BTS members ahead of their military enlistment as they traveled to “New York state, USA; Jeju Island, South Korea; and Sapporo, Japan.”
Fans enjoyed the new content featuring the two members of the group, who are still serving out their mandatory military enlistment.
However, a recent announcement about the show has left some fans feeling disgruntled.
In the third episode, Jimin and Jungkook are joined by V, who accompanies them on their visit to Jeju. In total, he appears in three out of eight of the program’s episodes.
Because of this, it was unsurprising that V was included in some of the photos for the announcement of the official Are You Sure?! photobook. In what is called the official poster, V appears alongside Jimin and Jungkook in two of the largest photos.
A poster detail stood out to many V fans, who noticed that V’s name was not included.
While the show was originally meant to be Jungkook and Jimin, fans argue that he did have an impactful appearance. Many feel that he should at least be named, as he is featured in photos on the announcement.
Imagine centering your poster around a picture with Kim Taehyung still failing to acknowledge him by name like how hard is it to type a single letter #V or did you forget his name like the debut days? If u're gonna ride his wave for clout at least have the decency to respect him https://t.co/bDSCnS28Db pic.twitter.com/UnIPnGNDSh

Don't buy that photobook. It's so rude of BigHit to put Taehyung in the large pics of the cover without adding his name. If they didn't want to acknowledge Taehyung's presence, then they should have kept him out of it.
Use your money to buy Layover vinyl and TYPE 1 photobook.

Where is #V hastag?
There's a photo three of them but there's no Taehyung's name in the title? If you decide to put Taehyung in this poster then you have to at least respect him. Or did you forget his name again like when he first debuted?? https://t.co/oa4EGFhlQP— HappyBoys :) (@LayoVer_Golden7) September 19, 2024
On the other hand, some feel that V should not have been featured because the show’s hosts were Jungkook and Jimin.
