SEVENTEEN’s Woozi recently became a hot topic online after sharing his blunt thoughts about an unrealistic scene in the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters. His reaction during a livestream has fans laughing and agreeing with his take on how the movie portrays K-Pop culture.
During a guest appearance on Korean YouTuber Calm Down Man‘s livestream, Woozi discussed the popular Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, which mixes K-Pop idol fantasy with action-packed demon battles. The movie has been a trending topic, but one scene in particular caught Woozi’s attentionโa joint fansign event between a fictional girl group, Huntrix, and a boy group, Saja Boys.
When asked about the scene, Woozi couldnโt hide his disbelief. He questioned how such a scenario would ever happen in real-life K-Pop, where mixed-gender fansigns between rival groups are extremely rare. His reaction was captured in a now-viral clip:
“For example, they are girl groups and they are doing a fansign, but there is also a boy group there doing a fansign with them, and they like it? The fans? The fans like it? Yes, the fansโฆ”
Fans quickly shared his reaction on social media, with many agreeing that the scene was entertaining but far from realistic. Some joked that the movieโs writers should have used a more believable K-Pop event, like the ISAC (Idol Star Athletics Championships), where idols from different groups interact in a sports setting.
“This is why the ISAC scene would have made a lot more sense because how are you an executive in a movie about K-Pop and not know that ISAC is way more believable than a mixed fansign?!!?” โ @ricausewhynot
“Him and Wooyoung saying how unrealistic it is is so funny to me.” โ @dreamyyji
“I’d love for him to deep dive critique the movie with Vernon.” โ @gyooranghae
Why Fans Find Wooziโs Reaction So Relatable
Wooziโs response resonated with fans because it highlighted the gap between how K-Pop is portrayed in media versus how it works in reality. While KPop Demon Hunters is a fantasy film, some fans felt certain scenes stretched believability too far.
Many pointed out that in real K-Pop, interactions between male and female idols are often limited due to strict industry norms and fan expectations. Joint fansigns between rival groups, especially of different genders, are almost unheard of.
Fans Want More of Wooziโs Movie Commentary
As the discussion continues online, fans are now hoping Woozi will share more of his thoughts on the movie. Some have even suggested he should do a full reaction video with other SEVENTEEN members, breaking down other “impossible” K-Pop scenarios in the film.
The movieโs exaggerated take on K-Pop has sparked debates among fans, with some enjoying the over-the-top fantasy elements while others, like Woozi, find the lack of realism amusing.
