On May 9, Aespa’s Winter and NCT’s Mark made a glamorous appearance together on a yacht. As ambassadors for Ralph Lauren, the two idols graced the “Only Polo: The Art of Escape” event, part of Polo Ralph Lauren’s 2024 Spring Campaign. Maintaining a professional demeanor, Winter and Mark posed gracefully while keeping a respectful distance from each other. Footage of their yacht rendezvous quickly captured the public’s attention.
However, a disturbing incident marred the otherwise festive atmosphere. In a video from the event, it was evident that whenever Winter approached Mark, some of his fans reacted aggressively, shouting and hurling curses at her.
The incident sparked outrage on the Korean forum “theqoo,” where a thread discussing Mark’s fans’ behavior garnered over 35,000 views and 500 comments in less than two hours. Netizens expressed shock and disapproval at the fans’ actions, rallying in defense of Winter.
Netizens shocked by Mark’s fans: “What is this Behavior?” and more such Reactions
Comments on the forum reflected the sentiment:
– “Doing that in real life is a whole new level of deranged.”
– “What the hell is wrong with those fans…”
– “Winter and Mark were at a professional event for work. It’s not like they are secretly dating. Why would the fans react like that?”
– “Winter didn’t do anything wrong and yet the fans are acting like something is wrong with their heads.”
The incident highlighted the troubling trend of obsessive behavior among some fans, overshadowing what should have been a celebratory event. Winter, who was simply fulfilling her duties as a professional, found herself unfairly targeted by the inappropriate actions of a few individuals.
Despite the unfortunate incident, Winter and Mark’s presence at the event served as a reminder of their status as influential figures in entertainment and fashion, undeterred by the negative actions of a misguided few.
