NCT Jaemin Draws Flack For Actions in Video With aespa
After the video was posted, a user took to a South Korean online community forum to make an article titled, "Jaemin gave me secondhand embarrassment in their video with aespa."
The article included a GIF of the video, showing Karina, Giselle, and Jaemin laughing as the run at the camera. Jaemin, on the other hand, is seen thrusting into the air excitedly and falling as Giselle bumps into him.
Jaemin's actions of humping excitedly have drawn flak from internet users. Many are saying his actions are disgusting, and that they actually paint Karina and Giselle in a bad light, as antis are calling them "man crazy" for interacting with the NCT members.
Others say that the idols looked like commoners, totally shedding their idol image. Jaemin in particular drew flak for being over-excited, calling his "serious image" laughable when he does things like this online.
Some comments read,
- "Wow, he is enjoying himself to death."
- "The aespa fans are excited about this, but the male idols' fans are calling Winter and Karina 'man crazy b*tches.' Isn't it hilarious? Seriously, he is so disgusting."
- "But even if SM told him to do that, Jaemin probably had intentions of being this excited. The only one raising the tension here is Jamin."
- "They look like classmates who got drunk at 3 AM running around in the streets."
