HYBE Idol Calls Fellow Member “Disrespectful,” Gets Criticized By Fans
&TEAM‘s Maki recently went on a tirade on Weverse due to fellow member Nicholas, leading fans to take a stand. In a preview for the next episode of their reality show, Nicholas was allegedly seen claiming that Maki had no table manners.
Maki had taken it badly, ranting to fans that it was disrespectful to the parents who raised him.

Fans were absolutely stunned to see him publicly call out a fellow member. They criticized him for airing dirty laundry, when it could have been settled privately.

I can’t believe that he’s tattling to his fans through DMs because his pride got hurt, instead of talking it out with the member involved.

It was later clarified that the scene Maki had scene had been edited badly. Nicholas personally clarified the matter after seeing Maki’s messages to fans.

I just explained it to him. Haha, I apologized. Yeah, let me explain it. I didn’t say that Maki had no table manners, but I was referring to the sheep. And one sheep was eating so fast, so I said it was similar to Maki. It got edited. And TBH, Maki has really good table manners.

It all turned out to be a huge misunderstanding! Maki also later reassured fans that they were not beefing.

All’s well, ends well!
