Korean netizens trend '#JangHyunseung ThankYou for Leaving' on Twitter

Hyunseung
A hashtag which translates to '#JangHyunseung ThankYou for Leaving' has been trending on Twitter in Korea for the past 5 hours.�



The issue began after netizens discovered that on the most recent airing of Mnet's 'Hit The Stage', on which Hyunseung was a competitor, Hyunseung and his crew allegedly made fun of his former group B2ST.�


Netizens have captured a GIF image of the show, during which Hyunseung is trying out shoulder pads with his crew for their upcoming performance. The crew, after stuffing their t-shirts with pads, began dancing with a move similar to one seen in B2ST's "Ribbon".�Netizens claimed that the crew members seemed to be mocking B2ST's dance, and also pointed out that Hyunseung did nothing to stop his crew members from the offensive gestures.�






As the issue spread on various online communities, fans began flocking to Hyunseung's Instagram, asking for feedback. Netizens think this post below from a few hours back is Hyunseung's response toward B2ST fans demanding an explanation.�

In addition, one netizen who supposedly attempted to contact Hyunseung via his Instagram account received a direct reply in the form of a middle finger up emoticon, as captured in the image below.�




As a result, Korean netizens, including B2uty and even fans of other fandoms, took to Twitter to actively express their oppositions to Hyunseung and his crew's alleged actions on 'Hit The Stage', using a hashtag (#???_?????_???)�containing both sarcastic and serious undertones.�


What do you think about the ongoing controversy?
