BTS’s V Ignites Controversy During Live Broadcast

BTS’s V is causing a hilarious stir with his recent live broadcast! On September 11 (KST), V went live unexpectedly and launched a “BTS Song World Cup.” He put the group’s hits head-to-head in a bracket-style game to crown a winner. The final champion? The iconic track “Save Me.”

The controversy began as fans reacted to V’s song picks. Some didn’t like certain matchups and joked that V shouldn’t be trusted with the group’s setlist for upcoming tours. The playful “rage baiting” blew up on Twitter fast.
