When the clip of V resurfaced online, netizens shared their thoughts and anger towards the way Bang Si Hyuk has seemingly treated some of his artists. Although there is no certain link, many pointed out that it could be why V and NewJeans have seemed to be close in the past, but most just share their sadness that all these idols have seemingly had negative experiences.

Bang pd loves to control things. That's why he doesn't like new jeans and taehyung lmao 😭. No wonder tae and new jeans are so close to each other. They're his little sisters. — ➹❀ 🍉 (@sanathvitboy) May 13, 2024
He did the exact same thing with Taehyung. It's a common theme with Bang PD when he can't take credit for someone's success or doesn't want them to exceed the ones that are his project. The difference is that Tae didn't hv ppl to defend him like this then. pic.twitter.com/X3uD8NDsS5 https://t.co/wO4vd8HnNF — 🐝 (@shamelessdawn) May 13, 2024
