After the pictures leaked online, ARMY stood divided as some were furious with V, while others jumped in quickly to defend him saying that he is a grown man who can do whatever he wants with his life.
BK-Pop sensation BTS might have lost the Grammy award, but their performance at the ceremony has definitely won the Internet and hearts of millions of their fans.

While there's so much to talk about - from Jungkook's speedy recovery from Covid-19, J-Hope joining the boy band at the Grammys to the group's 'Bond-Matrix' packed 'Butter' performance on stage which earned a standing ovation from the crowd. However, there are also a few instances that have left their fans furious.

ARMY, the fan club of the band, is apparently furious with singer V, aka Kim Taehyung, after pictures of him smoking a cigarette backstage at the Grammys 2022 leaked online.


The singer is seen dressed in his violet-brown suit and holding a cigarette, while being unaware of the camera capturing his movements. By the looks of it, the picture was captured before BTS' 'Butter' performance.

Some ARMY were already pretty furious with V for his flirt skit with 19-year-old singer Olivia Rodrigo which was part of BTS' stage performance of 'Butter'.

In the small clip which also leaked online, the 26-year-old K-Pop singer is seen sitting next to 'Good 4 U' singer who looks impressively surprised when V whispers something in her ear before showing of a golden card which he then sends towards Jungkook, leading to 'Butter' performance.


The small video of V flirting, even if it was for their performance and not real at all, sent ARMY into a meltdown, and now this picture of him smoking at the Grammys has kickstarted another storm on the Internet.

"So we didn't get a Grammy Award but instead we got this pic of V smoking during the Grammys," one person wrote on Twitter.

However, many ARMY came to V's support and started urging everyone on Twitter to not spread the pictures of him smoking and take down the tweets that have posted the images.

"Hello people Kim Taehyung is 26 years old grown-up man. He's not a minor anymore so what the fuse? seeing him smoking? get a life to those who say bad things about him!!! and please delete that photo." another person wrote.


Here's how fans of BTS are coming out in support of V and ending the hate he is receiving online for his smoking picture.
