BTS's official Japan X account followed an ARMY fan account before unfollowing it, drawing sharp criticism from parts of the fandom.
Netizens accused the followed account of being a Jimin anti and a Taekooker who ships Jungkook and V. Fans described the actions as disgusting and disrespectful, with some linking it to alleged sabotage and mistreatment of Jimin by BigHit.
The account has since unfollowed the fan. Reactions split, with some ARMY members calling the episode embarrassing while others celebrated the brief follow.
Tweets from July 16, 2026, captured the online fury, including claims that the move confirmed the use of burner accounts by BTS.
