SHINee Taemin’s Mannerless Behavior Resurfaces, Sparks Harsh Criticism 

Recently, a clip of SHINee‘s Taemin has been brought to light.

During a livestream from years ago with SuperM, Taemin took a previously lit candle from a cake.

He poured the hot liquid wax onto the floor to dispose of it as the others looked on. The wax fell onto the rug.

The clip ended up being removed from the broadcast’s replay as he received criticism for his actions.

While the moment lasted only a few seconds, netizens found it telling.

• “Celebrities really seem out of touch with reality… Do they think the entire world is just one big set made just for them? Everything they see and use is done by real people.”
• “If you’re going to raise someone in an agency from such a young age, don’t just teach them how to sing and dance—teach them how to be a decent human being too. Is that even human behavior? That’s something a 3-year-old would do, wow.”
• “Some might think it’s no big deal, but stuff like this really makes it obvious how different celebrities’ morals can be from regular people’s. Sure, I know celebs treat their staff well, are polite, and give gifts often, but beyond that surface-level stuff, when they’re lacking basic common sense or manners, it shows in moments like this. They say and do ridiculous things without even realizing how wrong it is.”
• “When I see stuff like this, even if I used to like a celebrity, it just kills all my feelings for them. Totally ruins their image.”
• “Seriously, I completely lost interest at that moment. Since then, his image has just stayed negative for me.”
