Netizens had mixed reactions.
Recently, TripleS’s Chaeyeon and actor Kim Kwang Kyu they were joined by another member Chaewon in their regular series on YouTube.
One of the games was a version of musical chairs.
During one round, Kim Kwang Kyu pushed Chaeyeon to take the spot.
Chaewon then threw the chair as “revenge” but then immediately went to check if she was okay.
When the video was released, some said that the whole concept of the game could have been dangerous for both the idols and the veteran actor.
Jokes aside but pulling the chair is very dangerous for humans. There have been many cases where victims were seriously injured after falling. The fall could damage the spine and bones. Just a reminder: Don’t do this to your classmates. pic.twitter.com/MF48OiglcF

This is the subtlest nudge ever, and it’s a game. She won’t get hurt, but the man? He could break his spine and become paralyzed because of it. It’s not funny at all.
No harm to the girls though. https://t.co/Svyh76ZgGe

However, many fans defended the idols by saying that the content was not harmful and also said that both Chaewon and Chaeyeon made sure to help Kim Kwang Kyu during the video.
everyone calls her the friendly bword to remind her that she is 17. He had no malicious intent and he will be fine and obviously he is exaggerating😭 why are you shooting a 50+ year old man https://t.co/UW5rlkf6tm

Others even pointed out that the male actor did it to a young idol first on purpose and that the idol shouldn’t be criticized just for talking back.
so it’s okay for a grown man to push a 20 year old to the ground ONLY PURPOSE, but when a chair is thrown from his butt is that a disgrace to her??? https://t.co/Jc2UazURGC

It would have all been done safely, but it sparked a debate.
