Yet, while the original post was removed from X, SEVENTEEN fans ensured that they hit back at the allegations and hate towards Mingyu. In particular, they pointed out that Mingyu wasn’t promoting anything, but sharing his experience from a shooting range in America while the group is on tour.
He is at a shooting range in LA. Idols go to shooting ranges all the time. Here is a pic of the autograph wall at Myeongdong Shooting Range in Seoul. Tons of idols + celebs, CL, Tiffany, Solar, Yoo Jaesuk, etc. letting their pics be shown publicly
Are you doing to drag them all? https://t.co/TQraDV1sMw pic.twitter.com/GEBjSVuoRG
