The 31st Hanteo Music Awards, which took place on the evening of February 18th, became a hot topic due to various unexpected issues during the event.
First of all, NCT was announced in the lineup only a few days before the event. In the notice, SM stated that a few members would attend Hanteo Music Awards but only 3 members appeared. In fact, NCT members could not arrive at the awards ceremony on time due to their schedules and they could only show up after the event had been carried out for two hours.
During the performance of ZB1, someone in the crowd shouted demanding Kim Ji-woong’s withdrawal from the group. Kim Ji-woong has been harshly criticized since a fan claimed that the male idol swore at her with a fancall evidence video.
According to fans attending the event, Kim Ji-woong fans hit the person who shouted loudly and created a chaotic scene in the Standing section. As the Standing area was right in front of the artists’ seats, ATEEZ members were taken aback when they saw the intense fight.
Lastly, a fan reportedly pooped in their pants in the middle of the event. Everyone, including the audience and the artists, was completely shocked to see the unexpected issue. It is said that the poops were scattered on the clothes, shoes, and belongings of many fans around. Due to the bad smell, even the idols could not stand it and had to cover their noses.
After the event, the fan who pooped in their pants released an apology on their X account, saying “Hello, I’m the person who pooped at the Hanteo Music Awards. After reading posts on Twitter, I realized that many people felt uncomfortable because of me. I’m so sorry for causing inconvenience and I will reflect on my mistake and the issue that happened earlier today. Once again, I’m sorry, and have a good day” .
At the end of the letter, they noted, “People whose clothes and belongings were tainted by my poops, please DM me. I’ll pay for the laundry fees” .
Many fans tried to comfort the fan that it was just an unexpected accident. In the meantime, someone found out that this account posted the caption “Poop” three days before the Hanteo Music Awards. It is unknown whether the fan made this post with intentions or not, some people are speculating that this might be a planned joke.
