Not only did they comment on their expressions but also assumed that they didn’t understand English. Here is what happened.
Stray Kids disrespected by paparazzi at Met Gala 2024
On May 6, Stray Kids attended the 2024 Met Gala and were wearing custom Tommy Hilfiger for the event. Fans noticed that some paparazzi acted rudely towards the members and also made offensive comments. One photographer was heard saying that the K-pop idols had the most emotionless faces and another remarked that they looked like robots. When the group did their outfit reveal, the first also exclaimed, “Now, let’s do it with feeling!”.
Another also asked them to jump as they yelled, “Everybody jump.”. A paparazzi was also heard saying, “How do you say right in Korean?” as they assumed that the members don’t speak English, coming off as ignorant.
Fans called this behaviour racist, disrespectful, and rude and voiced their displeasure.
