I can’t believe they were this close to me😭😭😭 #mingyu #vernon #seventeen
♬ 아주 NICE – SEVENTEEN
It sparked major shock among fans, who were mainly confused about how Mingyu and other members Vernon and The8 still had energy to go out after concerts, especially as SEVENTEEN always give 110%.

Sadly, some used it as an excuse to paint Mingyu in a certain way. One tweet sparked a major discussion among fans as the OP tried to paint Mingyu as “flirting” after sharing the clip.
the thing in clubbing is he can flirt with anyone just like he did with this dj but I hope his fans will just accept since he’s already a grown man pushing 30s https://t.co/1mNxwLUOMp pic.twitter.com/FAf67Kn3xm

While it didn’t get too much attention and many brushed it off, it sparked a huge debate about how netizens treat Mingyu and the image they paint of him. For fans, Mingyu is so sweet and genuine, but they shared fury that netizens will take these clips and try and paint him as a “red flag,” focusing on his actions even if he isn’t the only person who went to a club. They wondered why it was so normalized for people to make up narratives about Mingyu.
real gyuldaengies know that mingyu loves people and cherishes their company without harboring any malice in his actions. i hope he never ceases to be himself and fully embraces life. may he continue to be a beacon of light in everyone’s lives, as he is adored and loved by many. pic.twitter.com/wIxz2tuyl6

mingyu can’t even stand next to a girl without yall weird minds thinking he’s dating them like first yall said he’s dating the dancer he’s jogging with and now the girl in the club? that’s why YOU DON’T POST HIS PRIVATE PHOTOS HERE BECAUSE OF THESE MADE UP BULLSHIT RUMOR MAKERS.

Weirdos like this who purposely post clips that make him look a certain way are the problem. Mingyu can’t be friendly & extroverted with women without y’all being weird & putting malice in his actions.
Here’s an extended version of the clip. How is that even “flirting”? https://t.co/0hCuysENDl pic.twitter.com/F19U9xm6DC
