Another comment criticized Hyeri's acting abilities and questioned her behavior towards Byeon Woo Seok, stating, "Seeing Hyeri here makes me like her even less.

Netizens reacted to these comments with shock and anger, condemning the aggressive behavior of Byeon Woo Seok's fans towards Hyeri.

“She’s flirting so much, although Woo Seok is cool.”
