LNGSHOT member Woojin has gone viral after fans noticed what many believe was a subtle message directed at the group’s ongoing controversy involving CEO Jay Park.

Earlier this year, fans began criticizing Jay Park’s involvement in the boy group’s activities. While many initially appreciated the exposure he brought to them through appearances on YouTube channels, festivals, and events, frustration grew as his presence became increasingly tied to the group’s promotions.

Fans particularly took issue with Jay Park’s collaborative projects with LNGSHOT, including mixtape releases, promotional content, and even album merch featuring him alongside the members. Some even joked that he had become the group’s “fifth member.”

During LNGSHOT’s recent performance at the KKBOX Music Awards, Woojin sparked discussion after holding up four fingers at the beginning of a song. The gesture quickly spread across social media, with many fans interpreting it as a reference to LNGSHOT having four members, not five.

For some, the moment felt like reassurance that the members were aware of fan concerns surrounding the controversy. Others interpreted it as Woojin standing up to Jay Park.
Damn… Woojin started the song by holding up four fingers (😭😭). I’m seriously tearing up.

Honestly, I didn’t have many thoughts about the Jay Park issue at first, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a company CEO cause a controversy, upset the fans, and then have a group member step in to calm things down instead. Seriously, what the hell? LOL.

The clip soon went viral after gaining more than 600,000 views on X (formerly Twiter).
Jung Woojin’s ‘speaks-his-mind-no-matter-what’ mode doesn’t back down, even when the other person is the CEO.

I wonder how much thought went into raising that hand…

While there is no confirmation that the hand sign was intended as a message about the controversy, that hasn’t stopped fans from sharing their reactions online.
