Pharita has caught the attention of netizens for her newest actions towards Yeonjun of TXT, which created a stir online.
Here's what happened.
BABYMONSTER Pharita Caught 'Checking' TXT Yeonjun Out, Sparks Reactions From K-pop Community
K-pop fans are observant on how their favorites interact with one another, and through numerous instances of "crumbs," it's a delight on their part to see their idols engage through collab projects, interviews, social media updates, and of course, interactions during comeback schedules.
There are times, however, when other interactions can draw negative reactions online and produce malice, hate, and comments with displeasing nature.
In the case of BABYMONSTER Pharita, the idol went viral online for having caught looking at TXT Yeonjun when the idols' comeback promotions overlapped in Mnet's "M Countdown."
A video went viral on social media platform X (Twitter), showing BABYMONSTER leaving the stage for TXT to perform their encore stage. However, Pharita was caught looking at Yeonjun, as netizens claimed her expression meant that she was "checking out" the male idol.
Netizens were shocked by the clip, with many expressing their amusement with Pharita "admiring" Yeonjun.
On the other hand, others called out any form of spite that netizens could throw at Pharita due to her actions.
pharita is 18y/o from thailand, was a kpop fan before becoming an idol. y'all are criticizing her cus of her reaction when there's nothing wrong with it. she's likely just shocked and amazed to be near idols she used to watch on screens. stop harassing her. https://t.co/CgFZRk1jSP
Yall forgetting that Pharita (a 18 yo btw) listens to kpop too, girlie is probably impressed to be this close to the idols she saw on screens before. Some of yall need to go out, touch grass and stop w your weird shaming... https://t.co/dS3zPVSFFC
