Source: Star 1
Seventeen's Mingyu has been captured touching a woman closely.
On the 9th, a video from KBS2 Gayo from December 17th last year was circulated on YouTube and online communities. In the leaked video, Mingyu is seen playing with a woman backstage. Mingyu appears to be quite close to this woman, who is believed to be a Seventeen staff member.
Mingyu is then later seen putting his arm inside the woman's armpit and lifting her up and the two appear to be in a friendly mood.
There is also a large amount of people backstage beside the two but it seems like the person that filmed the video captured the moment as it was an unusual atmosphere.
Netizens that watched the video left angry comments pointing out that if it was a prank, why would Mingyu touch the woman in such sensitive places raising suspicions into nature of their relationship.
Meanwhile, others are speculating that this is natural behavior as the two are quite close like family.
- [+272, -16] Carats must be accustomed to this seeing as they're not pissed off over it all ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+238, -26] Yewon's noona?
- [+159, -58] Misogynist x pro-Chinese x womanizer
- [+113, -25] Seriously why would anyone fangirl over him?
- [+98, -16] A couple things that have been nagging at me about Carats since the beginning: 1. How is this not a big deal?? -> whether speculations or not, how is misogyny ok? How are fans not pissed off? 2. So just because fans are ok with it, other fans should be too -> Oh, and everyone else should remain quiet over celebrity scandals? ^^ I don't get it?
- [+88, -6] If this is problematic because it was done backstage should he have found a quiet place insteadㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+72, -36] Why is everyone only cursing Mingyu? I'm more creeped out of the sasaeng that secretly filmed this and leaked it.
- [+58, -36] I just saw it, but seriously where's the controversy?
- [+29, -1] So if this was uploaded as a picture it wouldn't be problematic? This is basically molka (hidden camera).
- [+27, -5] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋNo, I came here thinking he was hugging and kissing but what is this..
- [+25, -1] It's just funny because last time he got caught smoking a cigaretteㅋㅋ. But the sasaeng is wrong for secretly filming this because its invasion of privacy.
- [+21, -10] So first you claimed Mingyu was a misogynist ㅋㅋ but now he's a dirty fox?ㅋㅋㅋ stick to one thing pleaseㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
