Martin tried to give her some sincere suggestions, which were ultimately shot down by the fan’s response.

The video has since gone viral on X, garnering over a million views. Fans have mostly reacted to the interaction negatively, pointing out that it was “weird” for a 25-year-old to seek career advice from a teenager. Some were also irked by the fan’s negative response to Martin’s advice.

the concept of being a fully grown woman and a) spending the little money you have to meet a teenage boy b) unloading your stress and problems on said teenage boy… mind you this kid debuted like 5 seconds ago https://t.co/HEf7jLpUn5

Overall, there seems to be a consensus that the conversation was completely out of place for a K-Pop fansign event. What do you think?
