Fans know that in the relationship between idols and entertainment companies, Kpop idols are always the underdogs. Idols are often not allowed to do what they like but have to follow the arrangements and control of their managers if they don't want to be punished or even stopped working.
However, the correlation between HYBE and BTS is in a different category, in which V is a typical case of breaking the rules of the management company just for the fans' wishes.
V once left a memorable anecdote when he revealed his reaction to the management company's complaints about his actions. When V shared this with fans, everyone gave him an excited thumbs up.
Specifically, during a live broadcast of RM, V, Jungkook and Jimin in December 2023, when the members were talking joyfully, V suddenly mentioned that he had hinted about some unreleased content on his personal Instagram.
He casually said, "I posted some stories on my IG that I wasn't supposed to today" and RM admitted that he did the same.
The photos V was referring to are the ones below. At the time he revealed the sneak peak, the entire project had not been revealed, leading fans to speculate about things like a new music project or a photoshoot for Cartier.
It's worth noting that what V posted wasn't public yet, and the company claimed that he revealed the new project too early, leading to complaints. But V seemed to ignore all those complaints for the sake of his fans.
He continued, "And I got contacted. They said, "Oh you posted it but could you do that later?" But I posted it for ARMYs to enjoy. Nope! Why must I delete it? I posted it and ARMYs like it".
Well, obviously ARMYs were excited about V’s pre-reveal and went even more crazy when he revealed how “brave” he was to confront his agency to bring the happy news to fans.
Fans later found out that the pre-revealed photo was part of a photoshoot for W кσяєα magazine. Fans got to see the full, high-quality photoshoot that he did before his military enlistment.
Finally, V’s reaction was the best, making ARMYs proud:
- He is a naughty boy, our Taehyung
- Hybe has already given up
- I knew it Taehyung
- UGH THE POWER THEY HOLD
- Oh he spoiled things
- What a cutiee. hahaaa i can already see his tata mic face saying that
- they need to stop trying to tell Tae what to do & just say thank you . Smh
- It doesn’t matter whether he deletes it, honestly. Once it’s up there for a few seconds ARMYs are right on it and it’s all over the internet
- Tae is such a baby. let him post we don't know any spoiler
- "what are they gonna do? Fire me? I dont think so
- I don’t even know what it was but I’m here enjoying
