XThe program 'KBS Gayo Daechukje 2020' drew criticism from SEVENTEEN fans.
Fans must have known that SEVENTEEN canceled their appearance on 'KBS Gayo Daechukje 2020' on Friday (18/12) yesterday.
Previously, SEVENTEEN members had to undergo a test because they used the same salon as COVID-19 patients.
Pledis Entertainment then postponed the entire SEVENTEEN schedule, even the entire staff also took the test voluntarily.
However, KBS has other thoughts. Ahead of the holding of "KBS Gayo Daechukje 2020", the television station called SEVENTEEN members to do a pre-recording. The thing requested by KBS is of course contrary to the rules for preventing COVID-19 established by the South Korean government.
Except for S.Coups, whose test results were still out of date, 12 other SEVENTEEN members went on stage to pre-record with one dancer who replaced S.Coups.
A representative from the health authorities told Dispatch, “Even if you test negative for COVID-19, it is better to self-quarantine. What's more, you have to avoid crowded places. "
After doing the rehearsal, SEVENTEEN members waited in their room with full make up and clothes. However, the S.Coups test results didn't come out until the last second, so KBS finally canceled their performance. SEVENTEEN had to wait 4 hours before they were allowed to go home by KBS.
Knowing this, many of SEVENTEEN's fans have cast their harsh criticism on KBS for being deemed to have treated SEVENTEEN badly and did not even pay attention to the COVID-19 prevention protocol established by the government.
As a form of protest, fans flocked to trending topics using the hashtag #KBSApologizeToSeventeen which currently has more than 100 thousand tweets on Twitter. (www.kpopchart.net)
