LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin recently sparked controversy with her behavior in the Han River area.
Yunjin went on a Weverse live stream showing herself plucking flowers by the Han River to make a bouquet. She even brought scissors and was seen cutting weeds and flowers up.

After she plucked a few, fans in the comments let her know that it’s actually illegal to pick flowers at Han River. Yunjin was beyond shocked.
Huh, wait a minute, it’s illegal to pick flowers at the Han River? Seriously? I am really so sorry. Ah, if that’s true, I’m really, really sorry. Shhhh let’s keep it a secret.

- “No… she actually brought scissors, thinking she’d pick flowers. Seriously, it’s amazing she’s a full-grown adult.”
- “Bringing scissors to the Han River to cut flowers for a bouquet… I don’t even get what kind of vibe that is. She could have just gone to a flower shop and bought some.”
- “Even if it wasn’t the Han River, picking and cutting flowers that are growing well… that’s just not okay, right?”
The video also went viral on Pann, where some netizens have defended Yunjin, saying others are overreacting.

- “Isn’t this a bit over the top…? Those are weeds, come on.”
- “If someone didn’t know, they can learn. This doesn’t seem like something worth bashing. Also, the OP who immediately spread it and demanded criticism for such a small mistake doesn’t look good either.”
- “If Karina or Jang Wonyoung did this people would have freaked out and caused a huge reverse backlash.”
- “It’s a wrong action, sure, but taking screenshots and writing a long post criticizing her is just too much effort. Use that time to enjoy your fandom.”
- “What’s with the commens? Those aren’t even flowers you could really call flowers, ugh.”
