Super Junior member Kyuhyun (규현) has been drawing flak from K-netizens over his surprise appearance in SM Entertainment label-mate Taeyeon (태연)’s fan meeting event. In this case, many people called him out for apparently “barging in” the powerhouse singer’s one-on-one video call with her fans.
Yesterday (15th March), a few lucky fans were able to have a one-on-one chat with the Girls’ Generation’s member. As per AllKpop, a total of 30 fans were presented with the opportunity to talk with Taeyeon after winning the “1:1 video call event” contest organised by Mechima Shop.
However, there has been a debate among netizens on online community platforms regarding the event. The criticisms were mainly directed to Kyuhyun, who surprised fans with his appearance at the event. In one of the screen captures of the event that has gone viral online, the “Sorry Sorry” singer was seen suddenly interrupting Taeyeon’s video call with one of her fans.
Despite his heartwarming gesture, many criticised Kyuhyun for blatantly interrupting the idol’s video call event with her fans. Others also pointed out that some fans might have spent a lot to get a better chance of winning. Therefore, many said that it was very rude and thoughtless of the male vocalist to just simply barge in the session like that.
