Here Are 10+ Reactions To BTS V’s “Tiger Vs. Bear” Debate

The fandom has been divided over this debate!

If you’re a K-Pop fan, you’re probably well aware that most idols have a representative animal. Usually, it’s an animal that fans think bears a resemblance to their bias and also allows them to use the animal’s emoji when relaying messages on social media.

Yet, there’s been a debate on what BTS V‘s representative animal should be. ARMYs haven’t quite seen eye to eye with each other on it.

V’s fans are currently divided into two factions: Team Tiger and Team Bear. These teams believe that V is best represented by a tiger and a bear, respectively.

Both teams have made compelling arguments. Team Tiger believes that V is as adorable as a tiger cub but also as fierce as a tiger on stage.

Meanwhile, Team Bear says that V is cute, fluffy, and cuddly like a teddy bear! Considering he also has a song called “Winter Bear,” their argument seems quite valid.

Leader RM recently suggested a solution to V’s dilemma. V had found out that fans debated which animal suited him best, and he mentioned it during a recent BTS live stream.

I heard that my fans are having fights right now.

Not even the members agree!

So, RM suggested that V post a poll on his Instagram Stories so that ARMYs could vote for the animal they think represents V the best.

You can ask for survey through Q&A in Instagram.

After a fan asked him to choose between the tiger and bear emojis, he created a poll, asking fans to choose themselves. He also included a cute picture of a tiger and bear together he found on Naver.

V ended up deleting all previous Q&As as well as the poll above. He replaced it with this alternative as the other appeared to have a “correct answer” while this is neutral.

Although it was only up for about 20 minutes, V quickly found his answer. Bear ended up being the winner!
