On the other hand, fans rushed to support V and explain the situation. They reminded everyone that he was only about sixteen years old back then. At that young age, he was not used to meeting strangers and was taken aback when she hugged him. Fans said he was just very shy and nervous in general, not because of anyone’s race. They shared that in the same episode, V himself chose to interact with the Black woman and it was the ‘Slow Dancing’ singer’s lack of confidence and it had nothing to do with prejudice.
