On August 10th, Stray Kids delivered a stellar performance at the HDA. However, two days later, a keen-eyed Korean fan pointed out that Hyunjin was wearing racing boots during the performance. Weighing nearly 2kg (4.5 lbs) each, these boots are not designed for walking, much less dancing. This choice of footwear posed a significant risk for Hyunjin, where a misstep could have easily led to injury.

Fans quickly took to Instagram to ask for an explanation from the stylist, only to find out he had worn the exact same boots days before making the idol use them.

After fans voiced their concerns on his page, the stylist promptly restricted comments. However, this did not deter fans, who swiftly took to Twitter, tagging Stray Kids and JYP Entertainment, urging the stylist's replacement. This is the second controversy surrounding the stylist, the first involving a shared group photo with member Lee Know conspicuously cropped out.

Hopefully, JYPE will address the situation promptly and consider the fans' concerns.
