Netizens are torn.
A recent video clip of NCT‘s Haechan and fromis_9‘s Baek Jiheon is receiving mixed reactions from netizens.
The clip showcases Haechan passing behind Jiheon.
However, netizens noticed how her expression immediately became sour as he came close to her. She then moves to the side. The following member passes by, not coming nearly as close to her.
Netizens were split: Some felt it was part of a bigger issue that women are all too familiar with: a man rubbing his body on a woman as he passes by, despite having plenty of room. However, others felt he was simply trying to make his way through the crowded area and there was no harm intended.
- “You can see Baek Jiheon frowning, but they say she doesn’t care, lol. Seems like Haechan lacks gender sensitivity, just like hannams. Any woman who’s lived in Korea for over 20 years would know exactly what’s going on, lol…”
- “Women would know what that is. There are always guys like that on the subway too.”
- “Haechan is really getting unfairly criticized… He was just going the way he was, but then realized there wasn’t enough space and moved back.”
- “The moment someone touches my body, I should carry a self-defense knife and just stab them.”
- “Ah, I really hate this.”
Since there’s only one angle of the video now, it’s difficult for netizens to come to a conclusion. Watch the full clip below.
