A staff for Red Velvet Yeri‘s recent video call fansigns was called out on Twitter for his rudeness towards some fans. The fan had been unable to properly hear the audio for the video call and relayed the information to Yeri. However, the staff at the fansign had immediately begun to falsely explain to Yeri that the fans were purposely doing so just to record the reaction of the artist.
The staff was heard saying to Yeri, “They are just continuously taking screenshots while saying they can not hear to see your reaction. As soon as the call starts, they start continuously taking screenshots and purposely say that to try to drag time and to see your reaction and upload it straight on Twitter.”
