BTS fans expressed their anger at the situation. They lambasted the ones who uploaded the pictures without the musician’s consent.
Delete this… would you like if people took pictures of you without your permission and post it? no.

No please delete it. It was taken without his permission in the first place. Please give him some privacy he’s an adult. Don’t ask what is it if you don’t know. Don’t talk about it. Please.

KIM TAEHYUNG, like the rest of the boys, is an ADULT, and he's free to do whatever he wants. Smoking, drinking, flirting, etc. Our place as fans is in supporting them through THEIR CAREERS, we are not interested in their private lives or what they do outside the camera.💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/EZUN7ChsxB
