IVE Ahn Yujin Seen Scolding Male Fan During Recent Performance — What Happened?

During IVE's performance at Incheon National University, Ahn Yujin was seen scolding a male fan who was in the front row.

On May 7, IVE was one of the artists who performed at Incheon National University's music festival. The performance was riddled with controversy. While the group was praised for their live vocals and performance, students were upset at the amount of IVE fans who weren't from the university who attended and brandished around large cameras that blocked people's views.

In the video, she is seen looking closely at the male fan. She tilts her head squints her eyes, and points at him.

不想捕風捉影但仔細看開場問候那段真的很怪
成員們都一直往同一個方向看
安的這個表情跟指人也不是在講粉絲很讚的感覺
希望沒事☹️☹️ https://t.co/EnXU78VuJ6 pic.twitter.com/SCuMnK2n70
