Seunghan faces backlash over SMTOWN LIVE 2025 group photo in Tokyo
SM Entertainment’s SMTOWN LIVE 2025 concert wrapped up in Tokyo with artists from different generations celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary. However, attention turned to Seunghan after a fan post criticizing his stance in the group photo went viral.
The online post, viewed over 43,000 times, complained,
“Go all the way to the back if you’re going to stand tall; otherwise, bend your knees or sit down. You’re blocking everyone behind you. What the hell is up with Seunghan?”
Netizens responded with mixed opinions. Some defended Seunghan, questioning why people made a fuss over one photo,
“Why are they making a fuss over one photo that’s taken for each day…go look at the other photos from previous years…why are they going crazy after standing in front just once?”
Others were harsher, questioning his presence at the event after past controversies,
“But I don’t get why he’s included in the SMTOWN concert after leaving the group due to controversy?”
“Seunghan just needs to leave. I don’t want to see him.”
“Isn’t Seunghan just a rookie among SM artists? But he’s going to stand and cover all the senior artists? He should know to lay low if he’s been caught up in a controversy before.”
Some fans called out other artists too,
“Seunghan and SHINee’s Key don’t know how to read the room.”
Meanwhile, others urged fans to calm down,
“I’m an NCT WISH fan, and you guys are really making a fuss over nothing.”
The controversy continues to spark debate on social media as fans and critics weigh in on Seunghan’s positioning during the SMTOWN LIVE 2025 group photo.
