While Mina and Bang Chan have been friends for a long time, many of the comments seemed to promote “dating rumors,” and some were generally negative about the interaction in different ways.

Netizens quickly hit back at the comments, making something huge out of an interaction between two friends, whether it was about dating rumors or wanting to “save” the idols from each other.

Even when a video of the two at the after-party was posted…

Netizens hit back at the weird comments.

Mina is hated for not showing any reaction, she’s introverted within her own GROUP, don’t think it’s something strange!!! I’m sure without Bangchan there she wouldn’t even look sideways.

So cute. Some of u guys, chill. They basically grew up tgt. They called each other’s English names, Sharon & Chris. Mina is introvert and doesn’t show much movements outside. But, don’t forget that she’s so close to her friends/juniors. Eg. KickFlip’s Amaru.

Can toxic Onces stfu, Mina is just an introvert, they’ve know each other for more than 10 years, I doubt she’s uncomfortable
