Netizens found the hatred disgusting.
Koreaboo
Netizens defended themselves BOY NEXT DOOR‘S Jaehyun after criticism for crying after the group’s music show win.
In the episode, BOYNEXTDOOR won with their song “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU”, made even more touching by the fact that member Jaehyun is the MC of M Countdown.
Even though the members were not present, Jaehyun shared his thanks and became very emotional as he shared his speech with the audience.
After the encore, Jaehyun began to cry as he spoke directly to the fans.
When a video was posted online, some netizens shared hatred towards Jaehyun for his reaction, with one comment in particular drawing attention that he was acting like he won a “Grammy.”

While most of the negative comments were met with criticism, fans and netizens made sure to share their support and defend Jaehyun for his reaction to the win. Some pointed out how important the victories are for the groups, while others hated how the young idol was criticized for showing emotions and that people seemed to send “hate” for no reason nowadays.
“acting like he won a Grammy” because God forbid anyone should be grateful for the smallest things in life. literally who are you to dictate how a humble person reacts to ANY career milestone, regardless of how unimportant it is in your unsolicited and unwanted opinion. https://t.co/VLxCEmuy6X

Jaehyun is happy, he gets hate.
Jaehyun is sad, he gets hate.
it can’t even exist without people finding reason to hate it. I hope he never loses his smile because of hating ugly fatties. I’m actually going to start WW3— catbab (@twinkmyunge) January 16, 2025

Victories are very important to idols, and netizens believe that the hatred towards Jaehyun was unjustified and thought it was the reason why many were afraid to show genuine emotions.
