U.S. Austin concert day 1
(Previous situation explained by the people involved)
2 fans bought vodka from the bar inside the concert venue
During the encore, they held up a sign that said, "Wanna party together? Drink with us!" and showed it to Mingyu.
Mingyu only laughed it off at first, but the fans said they actually had alcohol for him.
(In the video)
Mingyu asked what was in the cup, and the fans told him it was vodka.
He then asked a staff to hand it over and drank it on stage.
Both Korean and international fans are now upset, saying things like,
-That was carelessㅠ... I hope he doesn't do that again, for his own safety. Who knows what could've been mixed in there...
-Why would he accept and drink that?
-He must be insane. What if there were drugs or poison it it?? He's lucky nothing happened.
-Oh goodness, he needs to be carefulㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ He can't just trust anyone just because they're his fans.
-I know Mingyu did it with good intentions, but that's dangerousㅠㅠ Let's not give or receive things like thatㅠㅠ
-ㅠㅠ Mingyu-ya, please don’t do that again.
-There's a bar inside the concert venue? That's fascinating... Even if a fan gave it to him, he should be carefulㅠ
-Did he know it was alcohol? Then why did he drink it? He's performing. It's still part of his job.
-Honestly, that’s a really dangerous thing to do.
-If he drank it and there were drugs in it, would he still be punished??
-The world’s too scary these days…
-Why are people blaming Mingyu for this...? Yeah, it was dangerous, but is it something to criticize this much?
-What damage did he suffer for people to call him a victim?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Was it wrong for him to trust a fanㅠㅠ? Those fans shouldn't have given it to him in the first place.
-Mingyu is still too naive. Please don't ever accept food or drinks from people you don't know, it's dangerous.
-He trusted the fan, but it's a dangerous country to be trusted. Now that he knows, hopefully he'll be more careful.
