Some of the issues coincided with his trip to Milan for Milan Fashion Week where he attended a show for Versace. Although Hyunjin looked great and made an impact, there were complaints of a lack of security and no stylist.
Recently, Hyunjin did a live broadcast and while talking to fans, the idol was called by staff and was away from the screen for some time.
After some time of fans just seeing Hyunjin’s chair, the idol arrived back, but initially, only half of his face was seen, and he appeared to be doing something off the camera.
He then started speaking again, but fans noticed he could’ve been looking at someone as he explained, “Anyway, I enjoyed it. At Versace…”
The idol then spoke positively about the experience, emphasizing Versace’s role in his styling at the event.
The people over there, the stylist, I mean the designers, personally designed the outfits, so it was an even more meaningful show.

While some fans saw nothing odd about the situation, fans quickly thought that JYP was trying to do damage control. In particular, fans thought that the staff was aware of what was going on and asked Hyunjin to try to appease the fans by praising his experience at Milan Fashion Week.
they're making it harder for themselves by going through more to cover it up and on top of that dislike. they're truly doing the best task to try and conceal it in any case.

That time wearing glasses was his idea. He noticed that the look was a little simple so he added his style to it. That's a stylist's job.
