BTS’s V is at the center of a fan outrage storm after clips from the group’s recent concert showed their translator allegedly mocking and correcting the idol as he tried to speak with fans. ARMYs are calling the behavior “disrespectful and unprofessional” — and demanding accountability.
BTS V “Shamed” at Concert: What the Translator Allegedly Did
BTS recently performed in Buenos Aires as part of their ARIRANG world tour. During the show, V tried to address the crowd in their native language — and fans say the translator kept interrupting him, correcting his speech instead of simply translating it.
Some viewers went further, saying the translator appeared to be mocking V’s pronunciation. The moment that hit fans hardest: it looked like the treatment rattled V so much that he gave up and continued speaking in Korean instead.
ARMY Reacts to the BTS V Translator Controversy
Netizens flooded social media with fury, arguing the translator’s only job was to translate — not to lecture an idol mid-performance. “All he wanted to do was interact and speak with ARMYs in their native language,” one widely shared comment read, capturing the mood.
Fans also noted the irony: V made the effort to connect across a language barrier, and the professional on stage with him is accused of humiliating him for it. Whether HYBE or the tour organizers respond remains to be seen — but ARMY is not letting this one go quietly.
