A few hours ago, Stray Kids' Han apologized for glaring at a fan over a misunderstanding that went viral on social networks after the boy group's 6th fan meeting.
At the fan event 'STAY in my little house,' the boys approached fans' seats to high-five them. During this dynamic, I.N. tripped and grabbed a fan's hand, who was in his way, to recover his posture, but the quick move caused Han to misunderstand.

The rapper thought that the fan had been the one to pull I.N. down by pulling him, and his face immediately turned sour, giving the fan a death look that later went viral on social networks, generating hate against the fan and a bigger misunderstanding.
Hours later, Han seemingly understood the situation due to his sharing a message through his fan chat explaining the truth: "Yesterday at the fan meeting, I.N. almost fell while walking up the stairs, and a STAY grabbed his hand to help him. However, I misunderstood the situation, and I think I caused her great disrespect."
"I know she was there to have fun at the fan meeting, and I feel so sorry that she left with a bad memory because of me. I want to tell her how truly sorry I am."
The idol took responsibility for his actions, recognizing his power position, and assured this won't happen again to avoid putting someone in a difficult situation, in particular for a misunderstanding.
"I know that even a single facial expression or word I say during a performance can put someone in a very difficult situation, but I must have momentarily forgotten that.
Regardless of the circumstances at the time, there is no excuse for my poor judgment and wrong actions, so I will act more responsibly in the future."
