What do you do when you accidentally upload a photo you never intended to go public? While you can always delete it right away, if you have fans who save every post you make (like the ARMYs), then you just have to accept the permanence of everything you put on the internet.
That was what happened to V, a member of Korean pop group BTS. V is an avid photographer and often posts his work on the group’s official Twitter account under the pseudonym, Vante.

One day, after uploading a set of photos…

…he accidentally included his selfie on the next set!
He managed to delete the tweet and re-uploaded the one he intended to post:

But as we have said earlier, ARMYs were able to save the original post right away and decided to let V know that it’s too late for him to undo it.

Np! My Twitter still had the tweet available after it was deleted, I saved the pic so quickly once I realised 😂

They even made a few memes out of it too!

After recognizing that he was too late, V sent this tweet:
방금사진은 잊어주세요 잘못클릭함🐯😩 저아니에요

Unfortunately for him, his fans did not buy it. Instead, they flooded him with their love and support, re-assuring him that he looks cute in the said photo.

V was overwhelmed by the support from his fans that he treated the ARMYs with this::
걔 저아니에요~~ 저여기있어요~~~ 우와아아아~~ 실망하지마세요~~~~ 그거 어플이에요~~~ 안경어플~~~~~~ 이예~~~~~ pic.twitter.com/9Ekm7RRhRR

Though he still denied that it was his selfie, his fans were more than grateful for yet another photo from their oppa!
Real ARMYs will love you forever and ever, nothing matters more than love, we love you for who you are! pic.twitter.com/DBCYcVCo5a
