2. Park Hyung Sik
The talented singer and actor was called out when he ignored fans while filming High Society.

3. Former BOYS24’s Hwayoung
A voice recording of Hwayoung was released by his ex-girlfriend chronicling possibly the rudest thing an idol has ever done!

Fans were mad at the three members when another fan shared a photo of a note that she exchanged with SEVENTEEN. On the note the fan wrote, “What am I to you?”
In response, Seungkwan allegedly wrote, “My bread and butter” which is a slang for income. S.Coups wrote, “Woozi fan!” and Wonwoo laughed at S.Coups response. Some fans were shocked at their responses, while others thought they were just being honest.
5. BTS’s V
V caught some flack at a fan signing event when he reportedly pulled a fan’s hair. During the event, a very shy fan was talking to V but she could barely look at him. Then he reached out and pulled her hair upwards.
Jin noticed and told him to stop and netizens were quick to call V out on his actions. Some people viewed his actions as being rude while others simply think he was playing with her to make her more comfortable. The fan herself even made a statement that she was okay!
6. Apink’s Eunji
