Despite NCT’s Jaehyun looking forward to enjoying the performances of artists such as Lauv at the Seoul Jazz Festival, his experience turned out to be far from pleasant. Netizens caused an uproar as they criticized the way fans behaved towards the idol during the event.
Despite various pictures and videos circulating online of Jaehyun enjoying the performances, one specific clip stood out to netizens. The footage captured Jaehyun among a crowd of fans, who seemed more interested in filming him than appreciating Lauv’s performance on stage.
The situation became more worrying when a fan posted a video of Jaehyun politely requesting to watch the show together, revealing his unease with constantly being recorded instead of being able to fully experience the live performance.
