Recently, a netizen’s video calling out P1Harmony‘s Keeho has gained traction online.
A video shared by user @creepygirl37 on TikTok discussed their interaction with the idol, first calling him a “weirdo freak” who thought that she and her friends were stalking him. She shared that the experience confused her for several reasons, including because she did not know who he was.
So, I have a storytime about some weirdo freak K-Pop idol who thought my friends and I were, like, following him around, which is absurd because: A, I don’t even know who you are,
and B, what do I look like following a man around?

She says that the interaction happened while the group was on tour in Los Angeles this summer, something she found out after the fact. She explained that she and her friends were at a store waiting to check out when she noticed Keeho and two people assumed to be staff members with him.
After overhearing the name he gave the cashier, she says that she waited for her friend to check out before going to the shop next door.
So we were at the Marc Jacob’s Heaven store and we’re waiting to check out, and like, it’s like a dude and like the K-pop dude and I assume like his manager and like some woman. And so, obviously, I’m familiar with K-pop. I get down to some SHINee. I used to really be into K-pop, and there are some names that I recognize because my friend Priscilla likes this group. So the guy is checking out. He’s wearing like a Chrome Heart zip-up, I believe it was black and had rhinestones on it.
The cashier asks him for his name to do the digital receipt thing or something, and he says that his name is Keeho, and I remember this very clearly. So that was literally it. After he leaves, I wait for my friend to purchase her bracelet because we’re in line behind him.

When she and her friends entered, she said that Keeho looked at them, made a weird face, dropped everything he had, and ran out of the store. While she understood that Keeho probably dealt with people following him, she says that she felt that his reaction was “weird.”
We walk in, and the guy, the K-pop boy, is in there. And like, he looks at my friends and me, and he makes this weird face, drops everything he had, and like runs out of the store, literally looking at us as if we’re following him. Like, I hope you see this, Mr. Keeho, but we do not, we do not care, babes. We do not care. Like it was just… I started laughing because, I mean, I understand he probably gets followed by people or whatever. Like, I don’t really care, but for him to just have such a weird reaction to that, and, like, we were just not paying attention to him at all.

The clip was posted online, where fans discussed the video, and many defended the idol, citing previous experiences with stalker fans. Some understood her offense, but didn’t blame Keeho for his reaction.
so was keeho supposed to have a third eye and know which person is a stalker or… if someone showed up at the same store as me and ends up being at my second stop my first thought is i’m being followed me ontop of the fact he didn’t have security with him pic.twitter.com/RMcGntJhGt

she’s offended and that’s okay but he’s not weird for assuming cause kpop fans aren’t normal and being stalked is a regular occurrence for an idol. I’m sorry but keeho isn’t to blamed for his actions idc what y’all say. https://t.co/IpDtOZoS8G
