Recently, the newest HYBE group has been promoting and performing in Korea.
Yet, a video from one of the shows has sparked a major debate. In the clip, while SANTOS BRAVOS are performing, a huge crowd of fans instead turned their focus and were all filming fellow HYBE group CORTIS during an interview, leading to allegations of the netizens disrespecting SANTOS BRAVOS.

Honestly, this was the first time I’ve experienced a show like this. It felt really disrespectful to Santos Bravos. People brought professional cameras that blocked the view, were pushing into each other, and on top of that, many turned away during the performance to watch another group waiting for an interview. #santosbravos #cortis #kpop #southkorea #liveshow

It sparked a heated debate online.
While many fans hated that SANTOS BRAVOS were being disrespected, others put it down to poor organizing.
The clip also started going viral on X.

Yet, the reactions were much more balanced on X, with many explaining that CORTIS is an established group in K-Pop so it shouldn’t be surprising that more fans want to watch them than a group that has just debuted. They also added that if you’re a fan of a group, you will watch them despite what else is going on.
you guys are way too pathetically dramatic about this. No way a korean artist is more popular and has more fans in Korea than a western group. Similar situations happen to kpop idols in the west, and we hear nothing from you. https://t.co/1uAtI8o9kQ
