The internet got angry at the guards and the K-pop idol. They recalled the time when a fan put glue in TVXQ’s Yunho’s drink. He got sick and went to hospital. It scared him for years. Hence, Carats got worried that Mingyu could have gotten hurt too. They spammed his Instagram account and urged him to never do it again.
But, this wasn’t it. This viral video also ignited heated discussions about the K-pop group acting differently in other places. At recent U.S. shows, members hugged fans up front and traded gifts. Some fans loved it.

But fans from Southeast Asia felt bad. They said they were told to maintain distance but others are hugging and receiving gifts. One user wrote, “I’d probably get threats over this but the members themselves allow it to happen too.
In SEA stops they are always so cautious and it’s always “oh no its not allowed, sorry.” signatures & pics are not allowed. This is why ssngs follow them there because restrictions are lifted.” Hence, they thought it was not fair.
