During the fan event “CARAT LAND,”SEVENTEEN’s DK playfully revealed his “fake abs,”much to the amusement of the audience. However, some members jokingly “booed”the idol, sparking a playful response from CARATs online.
The 8th fanmeeting of SEVENTEEN, “SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND”, took place at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on July 23 and 24. The group’s interactions, games, and performances provided many CARATs with unforgettable memories.

One particular highlight from the fan event has garnered the most attention. As part of the event, a game was held in which the losing team had to perform a penalty song. On the venue screen, it was announced that DK’s assigned song was “Guilty”by SHINee’s Taemin.

Eventually, DK entertained fans by performing the song, which includes a seductive highlight move that reveals the stomach. However, rather than showing his actual abs, DK amused everyone by wearing a shirt with printed abs.

Despite DK’s wholesome humor and gimmick to entertain CARATs, a significant portion of the audience playfully “booed”the idol due to their disappointment in not being able to see his actual abs.
Based on multiple videos available online, it appeared that DK was displeased with the reactions, and his fellow bandmate Seungkwan went as far as to stand up and issue a “yellow card”warning to those who booed.
Despite being intended as jokes, the “booing”and “thumbs down”gestures were met with widespread anger from netizens who viewed them as disrespectful and insensitive towards the fans present at the venue.
DK you are loved🫶🫶 you made us happy. those who booed, I hope you never see seventeen again pic.twitter.com/fmmMu6ckbQ

He almost cried and hid it because people booed at him! Please just get lost from the fandom! DK knows that carats like his funny side that’s why he did that. If you didn’t like that means you’re not a carat and we don’t need you #DK #DOKYEOM #SEVENTEEN #SEVENTEEN_CARATLAND pic.twitter.com/ZNpWTZ6nfZ

Carats who booed DK don’t deserve everything they get. These boys have HOW many fan events every year in Korea plus concerts and ya’ll…boo him…because he didn’t show his abs…Seventeen doesn’t deserve fans like you. He genuinely looked disappointed 😔

booing any of the members even as a joke is insane but doing it to dokyeom who EVERYONE knows is such a sensitive guy is just gross imagine having this many people boo you because you wanted to be silly doing a dance you might not even be comfortable with doing

He took charge of that situation, and you can’t even deny that what those “carats” did wasn’t wrong cause ofc even the members looked pissed, like, did y’all SEE Dino??? SVT are NOT the ones to play with, I hope this scars those fake ass carats for LIFE https://t.co/kKMUIitUqC

same! glad he didn’t sugarcoat it didn’t make it subtle and called them out emphasizing that THEY made him sulk and stood by DK. still can’t believe that DK was hurt in a space where he’s supposed to be the happiest JUST BECAUSE OF NOT SHOWING HIS ABS?? https://t.co/3Wc5TylRGo
