Fans speculated that the sharp beads had caused the injury, as opposed to the prior worry-free arrangement with the ornaments facing outwards.
Cuff Deterioration Throughout the Performance
The situation escalated during their rendition of "Hot Sauce," where the cuffs, initially still in place, visibly loosened. By the intense dance break towards the end of the song, fans noted a considerable slackening, with suspicions of one fasten possibly coming undone.
Fans Express Frustration and Disappointment
Expressing their dismay, fans directed their frustration towards the stylist responsible for the oversight. Multiple scrapes and scratches on Jisung's hand left many hearts broken among the dedicated fan base.
