Stray Kids’ Han Apologizes Following Controversy Over Glaring at Fan

Stray Kids’ Han faces backlash over fancon incident, quickly apologizes

Stray Kids member Han is facing backlash after a misunderstanding during their fancon for STAY in my little house.

The controversy began when I.N tripped on the stairs while greeting fans. A fan reached out for a high-five, which I.N happily returned. As he stumbled, I.N grabbed onto the nearest thing — the fan — to steady himself.

Han misunderstood the situation and thought the fan had pulled I.N down. His expression immediately turned sour, and he gave the fan what netizens called “a glare.”

Han’s reaction caused fans online to criticize both him and the fan involved. The situation quickly escalated with many blaming the fan for the incident.

Soon after, Han faced backlash for his expression but took responsibility and apologized promptly.

In moments like these, misunderstandings can easily happen in the heat of the moment. Han addressed the issue directly to clear the air.

“That I.N situation made me realize how easy it is to take situations out of context. Just imagine how many times it has happened, and people in here are very quick to fall for it”
