BTS V‘s behavior at the Dodgers game has come under extreme criticism.
V recently threw the first pitch for a Dodgers game.
BTS V’s First Pitch Flooded With Dramatic Reactions From Locals
During the event, V was spotted on the big screen drinking Coca-Cola. The idol is an ambassador for the brand, but has come under fire as it is a company on the BDS boycott list due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Netizens criticized the idol’s behavior and expressed how disappointed they were. Some even shared that while netizens defended V and his ambassador role because of the difference in the Korean brand, during the match, he was drinking the OG Coca-Cola.
Y’all have no excuses now. Y’all would be saying that “it’s the Korean brand not the global one” he’s literally in LA right now drinking coke. Do y’all think he brought some coke from Korea or???? #FreePalestine #BoycottCoke https://t.co/E6JArm306f

Others shared criticism about the event itself, sharing controversial views and behavior from the LA Dodgers institute.
I know nobody wants to hear this, but the LA Dodgers support Israel (see qt). They also kicked out a Dodger fan for holding a 🚫🧊 sign. The Dodgers are being boycotted esp by LA's Hispanic population…. But whatever, apparently no one cares… https://t.co/zRWC4qRiaH pic.twitter.com/iPez2U6wPN

Everyday it gets more disheartening to witness bts’s silence. Say what you will but 2018 Bangtan would’ve hated the pernicious dismissal of genocide for brand deals and capitalistic gain
This epistemic negligence goes against the crux of what they stood for- basic human rights https://t.co/vEkDv83LDB— Yoongi and Geto 🪷🔻 (@evilbunnyminho) August 26, 2025
