On June 27, a video of BTS' V in France went viral on Twitter where a French ARMY shared that they saw the BTS member in their car. As soon as V approached in his car, the singer rolled his tinted window down to bid farewell to his fans who had been waiting for the BTS vocalist.

It seems like one fan took advantage of the situation and immediately put their hand through the car window, in order to touch the singer's hand.

ARMYs have been understanding of BTS' privacy concerns, taking videos or photos without touching, grabbing or pushing BTS members.

On June 27, fans of BTS took to Twitter to call out French ARMY for invading V's privacy. One fan said, "Reaching into his car…… you stupid boraguettes! this is exactly why you don’t get shit. i better not see any French army defending this shit AGAIN." One more fan said, "Just saw the video of them French army reaching their hand into taes car HOW DO U NOT FEEL SHAME BRO." Another fan said, "This is so upsetting to see i can’t believe tae had to deal with that there’s no way these people thought reaching inside the car and for his hand was ok?? that’s unsafe and disrespectful on so many levels."

One fan said, "I get it that no one would want to miss an opportunity to meet him, but pls give him some space. You go to see him from far. Reaching up to his car & reaching out for his hand is not how you do it. As an army myself i wouldn't want them to feel unsafe & uncomfortable bcz of us." A fan said, "We just talked about them not respecting boundaries.." One more fan said, "Y’all were reaching into the car Taehyung was in!?!! That shit is absolutely disgusting. Learn some fucking boundaries!! The funny things is that yesterday on space French army were saying they were “respectful”, HMM like videos say otherwise."
