Soyeon is gaining attention across social media for her reaction to an "inappropriate" clip regarding the members of (G)I-DLE. The interaction was captured online, as it drew reactions from the Neverland fandom, and directed criticism towards the fan's behavior.
On July 19, a netizen uploaded a short clip on platform TikTok, which showed Soyeon interacting with a Neverland in a fancall. While fancalls are usually wholesome to their core, Neverlands shook their heads at the fan's gimmick.
According to the post, Soyeon was presented with a clip showing a kissing sequence from the famous cartoon series "Tom and Jerry."
However, the fan added a twist to the cartoonish skit by replacing the characters' heads with the faces of (G)I-DLE members. The video seemed to exhibit the context of "shipping," a term used for expressing enthusiasm and imagination to a fictional or potential romantic relationship.
"She's traumatized OMG," the video captioned.
Soyeon visibly tried to keep up with the fan's video. However, the reactions were polarizing online. Watch the clip here:
Neverlands in the comments section were shocked by the overall incident and expressed how awkward it was watching the fancall. Read their comments below:
"Please anyone save Soyeon from these fancalls."
"Why would they show her that?"
"Save my girl Soyeon, please."
"Why are Soyeon fancalls crazy, OMG?"
"Girl is not okay."
"She was bored and scared."
"The way she's trying to smile."
"Imagine her telling them members about this lmao
"What did I just watch?"
"She's like 'I hope I lose internet"
On X (Twitter), fans couldn't hold back their disappointment and conveyed how unsuitable the clip was. Here's how they reacted:
Is nobody gonna talk about how uncomfortable she looked? Why would y'all even think this is okay to show her??? https://t.co/yeJeTnpUVm
they should start having people submit what they want to tell idols on these fancalls and review it cause ain’t no way people think this is ok… https://t.co/JHNes5IJzk
