SEVENTEEN Mingyu’s Response To Being Groped During Concert Sparks Heated Reactions
SEVENTEEN Mingyu‘s treatment during a recent concert has sparked heated reactions.
Mingyu and S.Coups‘s subunit S.Coup x Mingyu (CxM) are currently on their Double Up Live Tour and have already completed several stops in Asia. On February 13-14, the duo performed in Busan, entertaining fans.
During the concert, Mingyu walked offstage to get closer to fans, who could see him up close from the barricade. When the idol walked past, fans reached out to touch his hands, and many also grabbed his arms and chest.
Another video of this showed the idol’s response right after, and he also stated that fans shouldn’t grab them like that later on. S.Coups also made similar remarks, asking that fans not touch their bodies and stick to giving high-fives.
오죽하면 애가 저런 표정을 지어.
진짜 제발 작작해 저건 성추행임쿱스가 질서지키라고 한소리했는데도 애 지나간다고 뛰쳐나가서 민규랑 캐럿 다칠 뻔하게한 304구역 20열 6번이내 너는 진짜 다신 플로어 오지마라. https://t.co/XV58FsiZVr pic.twitter.com/D26vaAaNGU

“if you were there you would have done the same” i was way closer and was still able to respect him because i love him and i truly care about him so just say you're disrespectful and go, you have to know the time and place to do such things and a kpop concert is NOT it https://t.co/A4a91L0AyI pic.twitter.com/LTR9yEJ9Lp

These people claim to be a fan/love Mingyu but can’t do the bare minimum of respecting him.
Want him to remember you? Well done, he’ll remember the disrespect/inappropriate behaviour.
Y’all always invalidate & downplay the sexual harassment he receives because he’s not a woman. https://t.co/CV6B5UqlO3
