Yangyang’s Instagram story seen as shading Ten over WayV tour
Yangyang posted an Instagram story that drew attention online and was read by some as shading Ten after WayV announced its new tour.
On July 24, WayV announced a tour called “Born This Way.” The announcement listed opening concerts in Seoul in September and additional dates in Japan in January.
WayV also said they will release a new album featuring all five members following Winwin’s departure. The album’s five-member lineup was mentioned as a possible reason part of the tour news drew mixed reactions.
SM Entertainment’s tour notice specified the live shows would feature four members: Kun, Hendery, Xiaojun, and Yangyang. The notice excluded Ten, who departed from the company earlier this year.
Fans questioned why Ten was left out. Some expressed frustration with the company while debating Ten’s participation in group activities.
If Super Junior with THREE members outside the company can coordinate a complete WORLD TOUR (and yes outside of Asia too)…How WayV can not make it with only one outside the company for an Asian tour https://t.co/pKT8hkjJb4

Reactions split. Some said the post was “shading” Ten over his non-participation in the tour. Others said it was aimed at critics of the four-member lineup.

I hope everyone can leave the wayv members alone now. Stop blaming them and instead support them
