SEVENTEEN's Mingyu found himself at the center of a storm of controversy following allegations of his behavior at a club.

The drama unfolded rapidly on social media after a netizen shared screenshots of text conversations with a club manager, which reportedly detailed Mingyu's request for female companions to join him at his table.

The leaked screenshots quickly accumulated over 2.4 million views and sparked a flurry of online discussion.

In the messages, the club manager described Mingyu as having asked for girls to be brought to his table, with the option to choose who stayed or left.

The conversation included disparaging remarks about the "aesthetics" of the girls involved, which added fuel to the fire.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), reactions varied.

One user commented: "FR? LOL, what did he do there? Bet he didn't go just to listen to the music," referring to Mingyu's club visit.

Others echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Mingyu's actions were consistent with his public image rather than a shocking revelation.

I'm sorry, but Seventeen's Mingyu is hanging out at the club with a girl. Well, it's just so fucking obvious, like Shindong eats a lot, Yoo Ah-in, this is it, etc.

User @jxxlxm9 pointed out that it might have been more scandalous if another SEVENTEEN member, such as Yoon Jeonghan, had been involved.

Yoon*Han went to the club... This is how it becomes controversial. Minkyu Kim went to the club... This isn't surprising. I was mentioned in Tamra. Where are you going again?

Similarly, user @zwyoungx expressed a sense of resignation.

Who doesn't know that Kim Min-gyu Club Jukdori is Hannam Yeomisae? Please.

Some online reactions indicated that Mingyu's behavior was expected rather than surprising.

One user humorously speculated that the 97-line group, including Mingyu, likely engaged in similar activities and lamented those who feigned shock at such revelations.
