SEVENTEEN‘s Seungkwan recently unpinned a post he had shared with ASTRO‘s Moonbin from his Instagram account after hate comments for an alcohol-related update.
Recently, Seungkwan posted some photos with a can of CASS beer.
The post is an advert for CASS (the Korean alcohol brand that partnered with the 2024 Paris Olympics), and the post was done because SEVENTEEN’s BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi) were picked as the summer digital campaign models.
Under the post, Seungkwan added a warning comment.
Warning: Excessive drinking can lead to stroke, memory impairment, or dementia. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects. Everything in moderation
— SEVENTEEN Seungkwan’s comment
The commenters appear to link Seungkwan’s alcohol-related update to BTS Suga‘s drunk driving incident.
Netizens quickly clarified that there was no link to any incident, and the comment is often used when idols are promoting alcohol; it was even used in the recent Going SEVENTEEN video descriptions, which also had CASS as the sponsor.
let this be a lesson for everyone to think before you click and stop setting any of the members up. 🫠
anyways, keep on writing positive comments under seungkwan’s latest ig post! i just hope none of this sht reaches him especially that he is chronically online. 🙏🏻🥹🫶🏻 pic.twitter.com/Mfg9gEcBtc

On August 12, netizens noticed that the pinned post of Seungkwan and Moonbin had been removed, leaving the CASS post as the first photoset seen.
Netizens shared their anger because they believed that Seungkwan removed the post so it wasn’t as easy for others to find the picture and write awful comments under the specific post.
hell is for those who spoke ill about seungkwan and his best friend moonbin that he had to unpin his IG post dedicated for him. i hope all pain those people caused to him will be returned to them tenfold. idc anymore fuck u all.

antis stooping so low and dragging a deceased person into your petty fanwar and leaving nasty and vile messages on the post dedicated to his bestfriend to he point he unpins it is just evil. no basic respect and human decency.
