Fans’ disturbing behavior towards TWICE’s Sana sparks outrage online, watch the video here

A recent incident involving a fan’s inappropriate actions towards Sana, a member of South Korean girl group TWICE, has raised concerns among her fans. The K-pop group has been organizing fan gatherings to celebrate their birthday. In the video, Sana can be seen moving through a crowd of excited fans. While she is busy waving to her supporters, an audience member, apparently eager to get her attention for a greeting, ends up tapping her on the shoulder quite hard.

While the intention may not have been malicious, many netizens were quick to express their anger, criticizing both the fan for disregarding Sana’s personal space and the security personnel for their lack of intervention.

As the images spread across social media, fans expressed their displeasure and called for accountability over the incident. They emphasized the need for better security measures to prevent such occurrences in the future. A fan tweeted, “Please take a look at this person who slapped Sana and make sure the security accompanying her reacts faster. And to the ‘fan’, please respect her personal space.”

Other viewers echoed these sentiments. One commented: “Even if you were wanting a high-five, this is not a high-touch event, and Sana was looking in the other direction. Keep your hands to yourself; wave, but don’t touch them. Another fan noted, “Why did he slap her like that? He could have done it normally, but it felt more like he was hitting her hand.”

“What are you doing? This is rude. This man should apologize to Sana,” added another fan of the singer.

Although idols often enjoy interacting with their fans, many believe this incident illustrates a troubling lack of respect for Sana’s boundaries. Supporters hope for a solution and that their favorite idol can continue to feel safe and appreciated in his engagements with fans.
