During a recent concert in São Paulo, Brazil, on April 7, 2025, Stray Kids found themselves at the center of a controversy related to a fan’s inappropriate banner aimed at member Han Jisung. This incident sparked a significant dialogue among fans and online communities about the critical importance of proper concert etiquette and the need for respect towards artists.

Many fans expressed their disapproval, highlighting the necessity of maintaining a respectful environment at events dedicated to artistry.
One fan captured the general sentiment with the following comment:
“This is so weird and disrespectful”
As discussions unfolded online, numerous fans reflected on the troubling behavior of individuals who cross boundaries with such inappropriate displays.
“You guys are seriously weird, and you’re so lucky the guys play along well because this is just sexual harassment,”noted one fan.
“Oh b/c his reaction is ‘cute’ it’s fine, but if the roles were reversed, you would want that fanboy’s head on a platter,”questioned another.
While some fans acknowledged the inappropriateness of the banner, others cautioned that labeling it as sexual harassment might downplay the seriousness of the term.
“That’s pretty weird to be honest. Like, why would you want your fave thinking you’re a total creep?”expressed a fan.
“We stand with Han and the rest of Stray Kids. Let’s report this incident and ensure the person responsible faces consequences,”another fan added.
“Please stop diluting what sexual harassment is and what it looks like. Throwing out that term nonchalantly is incredibly harmful,”argued a concerned follower.
