Meanwhile, BTS V sent his devoted supporters into a frenzy once again after he shared a sneak peek of the imminent "Map of the Soul" photobook. The "Dynamite" singer posted a snap of him with blue-colored teardrop diamonds on his face.
The new images of BTS member V, who has been inactive on social media for quite some time, made fans think that he is channeling "Love Yourself: Tear" with a Greek God persona. Others even described the co-member of Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, J-Hope, Suga and RM as a perfect Greek sculpture.
BLACKINK Jennie, on the other hand, was hounded with controversy lately after she was accused of breaking COVID-19 health protocols. Not only did the "Lovesick Girls" songstress failed to wear a face mask on the photo as it also showed her and six friends holding ice creams while not following social distancing rules.
As netizens started pointing out the blunder, BLACKPINK member Jennie quickly deleted the snaps and made another post with the group photo removed. The arboretum released a statement and revealed that the K-pop idol and her crew dropped by to film a YouTube video for business purposes.
The city office also verified that the agency submitted an application and approval form to use the arboretum as a filming location. YG Entertainment also addressed the controversy, saying that Jennie had been there for work and not for a social gathering.
