BOYNEXTDOOR‘s Jaehyun has sparked mixed reactions after getting embarrassed in front of IVE‘s Wonyoung.
Jaehyun is the MC of M Countdown, and on February 13, IVE appeared on the show to perform their track “Attitude.”
They were also nominated for first place and won for the track.
In the past, many idols were shocked by the first-place celebration confetti, as it could come out of nowhere and be extremely loud and dramatic. Jaehyun was no exception as he fell out of shock at the sudden confetti.
He then bowed to Wonyoung as she was handed the trophy…
Before seemingly showing how embarrassed he was by leaning into his co-MC’s shoulder.
Netizens found Jaehyun’s actions adorable and couldn’t get over either his or Wonyoung’s reactions.

But one viral tweet from a Korean OP saw the idol gain criticism for seemingly having “pick me” behavior.
it’s crazy how its a boy group member that genuinely shows actual pick me behavior for the first time in kpop. LIKE THIS IS attention seeking clownery. https://t.co/qD3OsHJBMs
