Yushi replied with a shrug, saying “I don’t know.”As the event was coming to an end, the fan rushed to get a quick answer from Yushi, but he smiled and said “Time’s up”before returning the album to her.

During a conversation with a fan, Yushi briefly commented on the beach scene in the background by saying, “Wow, is that the sea?”The fan then tried to engage by mentioning that she had gone to the beach to show Yushi the sea and asked if Yushi liked it. Yushi’s response was a vague “The sea… Yes,”which left the fan feeling disappointed. She asked again, “You don’t like it?”and Yushi simply replied, “I don’t…ㅎ.”

Responding to Fans on Weverse

Yushi responded to a fan’s request for him to appear on the Weverse platform more frequently, acknowledging that it is part of his job, with a laughing emoticon “ㅋ.”

The emergence of this situation has caused a considerable amount of controversy on social media. Numerous netizens have expressed disapproval towards Yushi’s attitude, citing it as excessively indifferent and unsuitable towards fans, particularly considering his recent debut.
