BOYNEXTDOOR’s Jaehyun, the MC for M! Countdown, has become the subject of an online controversy following a recent livestream with girl group RIIZE.

The video in question features Jaehyun performing a humorous dance for the RIIZE members, who seem to be watching with restrained expressions. As a result, some viewers, particularly BOYNEXTDOOR fans, have accused the RIIZE members of being impolite or lacking enthusiasm. They contend that Jaehyun’s fellow group members would have responded with more enthusiasm and liveliness.

Additionally, a large number of people have rallied behind RIIZE, arguing that the members’ reserved behavior is authentic and not a sign of their lack of admiration for Jaehyun. Some have also highlighted that the style of Jaehyun’s dance may not have called for a more exaggerated reaction.

The video, which is only 26 seconds long, has received more than two million views on the internet, igniting a discussion about expectations, different types of personalities, and suitable responses while streaming live.
