Fans were absolutely furious that KATSEYE were made to get on the floor and kneel in the outfits, especially as it would have been easier for the men, especially in their covered outfits.

Some even believed that the men were insecure about their height, meaning they didn’t want KATSEYE to stand.
Because the girls are probably taller than them and their fragile masculinities would be wounded lmao https://t.co/rLM5ssjQG8
