Netizens believe some always twist The8’s words negatively.
SEVENTEEN‘s The8 has been fiercely defended after being hit with criticism for his recent comments.
Ahead of SEVENTEEN’s comeback, there have been many teasers showing members on variety shows, and The8 is the next guest for K Star Next Door.
In the teaser, The8 pointed out how there are three units, and joked about how they shouldn’t have done it.
Like many fans know, The8 shared how “hard” being in performance unit was.
He then shared the differences in preparation for the unit performances for each, and how his unit has to prepare for a week due to the complex choreography.
The video went viral, making fans LOL watching The8’s honesty and wit.

Yet, fans were shocked when the clip meant that The8 became a target of hate comments and criticism, with some making mean comments to the idol about his talents.
The vcu and hhu literally do the same choreo for non unit songs. Meanwhile Minghao cannot even sing or rap, so all he does is dance 😂

Can’t sing but yes keep complaining about those who can sing, complaining about dancing when that’s the thing you can contribute. Thanks to vcu you don’t have to get the criticism of being average at singing

Netizens were quick to defend The8 from the malicious comments, explaining that he was obviously saying it in a light-hearted way, hating how the idol’s words often got twisted to be portrayed in a negative light. They added that it was known to fans how tough being in performance unit was, and that it wasn’t meant to offend any other members.
minghao speaks with so much honesty and heart, whether he’s joking or being serious but no matter what he does, someone twists it. he’s so genuine, so rare in this industry. he deserves more kindness, not this constant hate

minghao cant even joke about being tired or disliking his job when normal people do that everyday because of insecure, childish and low iq stans blowing everything out of proportionpic.twitter.com/EQWWMKrNYQ
