SEVENTEEN’s DK gets ‘booed’ by fans during CARATLAND
SEVENTEEN is known for their "unfitting" song performance challenge, where they dance to parts of popular songs by other K-pop groups that they feel don't suit them. During CARATLAND, fans were disappointed, and some even booed when DK did not go shirtless while performing Taemin's Guilty.
On the first night, DK's song assignment was SHINee Taemin’s Guilty. After his team lost the game, DK took center stage and amused netizens by performing the dance with fake abs, bringing laughter to the audience.
Most netizens adored DK's humor and appreciated his efforts to entertain CARATs with laughter. However, there was disappointment when, after his performance, some in the crowd reacted by "booing" because DK didn't reveal his abs as expected. This reaction seemed to upset DK and his fellow members, like Seungkwan, who showed support with a "yellow card" gesture to those booing, and Mingyu, along with others, stepped in to comfort him.
During the event, although the booing towards DK may have been intended as a joke and not serious, fans observed DK's expression falling after hearing the reactions. Many expressed anger over the fact that DK isn't often seen showing his body like other members as he isn’t comfortable, and they defended his efforts to make fans laugh and create a unique and happy atmosphere.
In his closing remarks, DK addressed the situation, clarifying that he wasn't sulking but acknowledging that he was caught off guard and upset by the reaction. He reassured CARATs that he would strive to deliver a better performance next time. Fans took to social media to voice out their opinions regarding the entire situation.
