A startling moment unfolded during a recent NMIXX concert when a baby unexpectedly crawled onto the stage, causing concern for its safety and leaving Kyujin visibly worried. The incident has sparked heated debate about parenting choices and concert safety in the K-pop world.
An Unexpected Guest at the NMIXX Concert
During a recent NMIXX concert in Seattle, fans were shocked when a baby crawled onto the stage in front of the performers. NMIXX's Kyujin quickly noticed the child and handed it back to the mother. Videos of the incident quickly spread on social media, with many netizens criticizing the decision to bring a baby to a concert, especially so close to the stage.
Safety Concerns Raised
In addition to the risk of the baby falling off the stage or getting injured, the child did not appear to have any hearing protection, raising concerns about potential hearing damage.
A fan remarked, "It's foolish to bring an infant into the pit where accidents can occur, but who am I to judge? K-pop!" Similar concerns were shared, with people wondering about the reasoning behind bringing a baby to a K-pop concert and the baby's admission into the venue.

As the story continues to spread, fans hope that the baby is safe and healthy after attending these events, and that no lasting damage has been done to its hearing or well-being. Fans were also grateful for NMIXX's Kyujin and Haewon for stepping up, demonstrating their concern and professionalism during the unexpected incident.
