BTS's V, also known as Kim Taehyung, recently expressed his frustration over repetitive and inappropriate comments made by fans during a Weverse live broadcast. The talented musician highlighted the need for fans to ask more thoughtful and creative questions to make the interactions more engaging and enjoyable for everyone.
The Live Broadcast and V's Frustration
On April 19, V attempted to do a surprise live broadcast for fans. His initial attempt on Instagram didn't work out, so he moved over to Weverse to chat with the ARMYs. However, V's excitement to communicate with his fans was overshadowed by the same comments that kept appearing during the live session.
V revealed that the most common comments were along the lines of "Yoongi, marry me," "TMI," "Selca," and "Have you heard of Mongolia? Can you come to Europe? Do you know Sweden?" The idol also mentioned that some comments are truly inappropriate.

The idol also expressed his frustration, saying, "Why wouldn't I know? ARMYs need to think of fun questions." He also mentioned that it wasn't just limited to those comments, but others as well, like people constantly saying it was their birthday or asking him to wave.
The Need for "Upgraded" Questions
V emphasized the importance of having different and more thoughtful questions as the group gets older. He clarified that he never said he wouldn't read comments, but if he saw funny or unique ones, he would read them all out. The idol pointed out that these run-of-the-mill and cliché comments were becoming tiresome, and he urged fans to be more creative and amiable with their interactions.

Following the broadcast, ARMYs shared their disappointment at the comments V had to endure, with many bringing back guides to Korean comments that promote a more positive atmosphere.
Meanwhile, V isn't the first member to voice out this kind of sentiment from the group. RM, the group's leader, also drew attention to the matter during a live broadcast in April. He surprised ARMYs by stating, "Many people are writing strange things in the chat," and further commenting, "You guys changed..."
Weverse serves as an excellent platform for fans to interact with their favorite idols. However, some fans worry that if groups continue to see the same repetitive and inappropriate comments, they might become discouraged from going on live with their fans often. It's essential for everyone to maintain a respectful atmosphere, asking thoughtful questions that genuinely interest the idols they adore.
It's sad to hear/read that a member feels like their fandom has changed and not for the better. To feel frustrated enough to mention doing these lives with the comments off, makes me feel heartbroken and so disappointed at the fandom we are today.
