Recently, Hyunsuk and his companions appeared in a video for the Japanese magazine ViVi, attracting attention from both international and Korean audiences.
Shortly after the video was released, international fans began highlighting concerns about Hyunsuk’s mannerisms, questioning his behavior and attitude compared to the rest of the group.
The situation worsened when a post on Korean social media containing the clip went viral, triggering a wave of harsher criticism. Some netizens went so far as to blame Hyunsuk for the group’s perceived lack of mainstream success, while others accused him of trying too hard to stand out.
Comments circulating online included harsh comments questioning his conduct, appearance and overall presence in the video, with some even making personal attacks and unfounded claims about his future in the group.
This is not the first time that Hyunsuk has been at the center of controversy, as the idol has already attracted mixed reactions from the public. However, the intensity of the current backlash highlights the continued scrutiny K-pop idols face for even minor actions, especially in highly visible group settings.
