A recent performance by IVE at the Incheon University Festival on May 7 has sparked a wave of concern and anger among netizens. The cause? Footage of IVE’s Yujin seemingly having to reprimand a fan.
Following the performance, a fan shared photos highlighting a series of moments where Yujin appeared to be scolding a person in the crowd.
While the photos themselves couldn’t confirm the issue, the fan explained that in a few videos they watched, someone in the crowd seemed to be making Yujin feel uncomfortable.
The fan shared, “I watched a few videos shot at a distance and noticed there seems to be someone off-stage making (Yujin) uncomfortable, and that’s why there was a series of actions from (Wonyoung) to protect (Yujin). It seems like (Yujin) feels a bit pissed off too. Incheon University is really…can we only allow girls to stand at the front next time?”
When the tweet was shared, international fans expressed their anger at someone using an opportunity like this to make the members feel uncomfortable, praising Yujin for calling them out.
A Chinese fan shared the actual video clip of what happened and Yujin’s reaction. In her tweet, the fan explained that they didn’t want to make accusations, but Yujin’s expression didn’t seem like they were pointing at the person in the crowd in a positive way.
“I don’t want to make groundless accusations, but watching the opening greeting closely, it seems strange. The members kept looking in the same direction. Ahn’s expression and finger-pointing aren’t giving off a ‘that fan is awesome’ vibe. I hope everything is alright,” the fan shared.
Considering the members are so young, it’s not surprising that fans are worried when incidents like this happen. Stay tuned for more updates on this matter.
