Red Velvet's Seulgi cautiously declines a fan's request to fully cover NewJeans' "Hype Boy"

AKP STAFF

Red Velvet's Seulgi cautiously declined a fan's request to fully cover NewJeans' "Hype Boy."

On February 18th, Seulgi held a fan meet event to celebrate her birthday. On this day, Seulgi performed various songs including aespa's "Illusion", EXO's "Love Shot", and Paul Kim's "Every day, Every Moment." 

During the event, however, when a fan requested her to cover NewJeans' "Hype Boy" she only danced to the song a little bit and declined to fully cover the song.

Seulgi commented, "I think you might be able to see it sometime later. You know why right? I decided not to make anything controversial happen."

Meanwhile, Seulgi turned 29 on February 10th.

Honestly, given the whole SM, HYBE, Kakao and Lee Soo Man issue this is the smart way to avoid any controversy until the matter is settled.

Watch stans turns this into Seulgi having a personal grudge towards NewJeans, when she and the rest of Red Velvet have been showing love for and recommending NJ since their debut, not to mention she already danced and sang Hype Boy on a fancall when it was released, wtv this was it has to do with the current situation and her knowing how crazy media and fans are rn and how anything she does would get twisted to all kinds of narratives
