Internet users immediately came to his defense.
KATEYE leader SofiaHer behavior during a recent broadcast sparked mixed reactions, with Internet users rushing to the singer’s defense.
Lately, Manon, Lara, AND Danielle did a special Weverse live broadcast for fans. Although they only recently debuted, netizens have become obsessed with the members’ bond, as the group has responded to all the rumors of talks from the recent Netflix show.
During the broadcast, while the members were having fun in a hotel in Japan, Sophia intervened to ask them to turn down the volume, as it was supposedly late.
The members demonstrated their bond by joking with Sophia, referring to her as “leader.”
Hilariously, shortly after, the three idols sang a rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
The clips were shared on X and TikTok, quickly going viral as internet users became obsessed with the members’ chaotic nature.
Sophia: “You guys are really loud”
Daniela 🤓: “well actually I’m not there, I’m putting on makeup” (and the fact that she also raised her finger ðŸ˜)
Lanon: “Sorry my boss 😔”

Unfortunately, Sophia’s behavior has prompted criticism and negativity from netizens who apparently found issues with what she told members.
Sophia is annoying, shut up https://t.co/kJmOBdiUBU

I’m confused, do these girls like each other or not? https://t.co/SF5DSpk7vY

However, netizens were quick to come to Sophia’s defense, explaining that she did it so that the members wouldn’t get into trouble with the hotel staff for their loudness. Many added that the members’ reactions actually show how close the group is to each other and that they are like a real family.
getting mad at Sophia for telling the girls to shut up (they were in a HOTEL) is insane… leader or not, she is a member of Katseye and has the right to let them know. The last thing they need is to get in trouble for being too loud to themselves/the hotel staff… Sophia, get behind me.

I swear every single member of this group gets along so well that to me they really seem like a reunited family. The pinnacle of female adolescence is here. https://t.co/myxEGLy4NT

If he was a male idol you would call him sexy and stuff, but when it comes to Sophia you all are rude, when it’s not that deep, they’re just having fun https://t.co/IyiT6FQf0N

The job of a K-Pop leader is not easy and Sophia demonstrated her professionalism while highlighting the bond between the members.
