BTS’s V Faces Harsh Backlash Over Recent Instagram Post

BTS’s V is facing major backlash for his latest Instagram post.

The controversy began when V shared recent travel photos on November 28. Fans and netizens quickly noticed prominent displays of Coca-Cola and Starbucks products in the shots.

Both brands are on the BDS boycott list tied to the Gaza conflict, which sparked furious reactions. Many called out V for promoting “boycotted” companies to millions of followers.

Soon after the post went live, criticism exploded online.

The presence of Coca-Cola and Starbucks tied to sensitive political issues has landed V in hot water yet again. Fans and observers are debating if his posts undermine boycott efforts.

This isn’t the first time idols have faced backlash over brand associations, but the speed and intensity of the criticism have escalated.
