A recent incident involving a fan’s inappropriate actions towards the South Korean girl group TWICE’s member Sana has raised concerns among her fans. The K-pop group has been hosting fan meetings to celebrate their anniversary. In the video, Sana can be seen moving through a crowd of enthusiastic fans. While she is busy waving at her supporters, an audience member, seemingly eager to get her attention for a high-five, ends up striking her shoulder quite forcefully.
Although the intent may not have been malicious, many internet users quickly voiced their anger, criticising both the fan for disregarding Sana’s personal space and the security personnel for their lack of intervention.
As the footage spread across social media, fans expressed their discontent and called for accountability regarding the incident. They emphasised the need for better security measures to prevent such occurrences in the future. One fan tweeted, “Please take a look into this person who slapped Sana and make sure the security that goes with them reacts more quickly. And for the ‘fan,’ please respect her personal space.”

Other viewers echoed these sentiments. One commented, “Even if you were going for a high-five, this is not a hi-touch event, and Sana was looking in another direction. Keep your hands to yourself; wave, but don’t touch them.” Another fan observed, “Why did he high-five her like that? He could have just done it normally, but it looked more like he was hitting her hand.”

“What are you doing? That’s rude. This man must apologise to Sana,” another fan of the singer added.
What are you doing?
While idols often enjoy interacting with their fans, many believe this incident illustrates a troubling lack of respect for Sana’s boundaries. Supporters are hoping for a resolution and that their favourite idol can continue to feel safe and appreciated in her engagements with fans.
