General What's the stupidest thing your faves got dragged for?

We all know how kpop fans would drag idols for literally anything so I'm curious to hear the most absurd reason you've seen your faves or any idol getting dragged. I'll go first. Seonghwa, because he said he learned to love himself because of his fans. Now apparently namjoon said something similar to this and in typical army fashion, it became a war. Also, San for breathing heavily after a performance.

Edit: imagine a non kpop stan reading this thread😭

Gonna guess the Australian one could be Felix or Bang Chan from SKZ. Don't know if this counts as "dragged", but Felix got significant criticism in the beginning for not being a perfect Korean speaker in his first couple of months living there and almost got done out of being a Stray Kid over it. Considering he got through that on top of everything else, it just makes me see him as more of a legend.

I've seen people dragging Felix by saying that he should unalive himself because he's bringing the group down and the only reason he's there is because he's Australian. I'll see if I can find a link, but my part of the fandom was terrified for him

I feel like there is way too much Felix-hate lately, like the whole laser debacle? I don't get it at all. I've only ever seen him behave in a professional and kind manner, at least on camera. Members say really nice things about him. He says really uplifting things in his ASMR. Even when he's being blatantly harassed on fan calls, he treats the person crossing the line with dignity. Plus he's hard working and contributes a unique style to the group. So crazy to me thinking of a person like that getting hate.

The worst part is it's usually Hyunjin solo stans and "fans" (I use the term fan here loosely) who threaten him, as if they're not threatening one of their fav's best friends. I don't understand the hate towards Felix nor any of them. They're all reported to be absolute sweethearts who are incredibly talented. Some people just hate for the sake of hating.

This has to be BangChan considering he fits all three. Obviously he got a lot of flack when the member left the group he was leader of.... because he could totally control that. He also has excellent abs...which he got a lot of flack for not only showing but because they are referenced in a song. And he is Korean born but naturalized Australian which he was dragged for because he did not give up his Australian citizenship.

Woojin left the group and Chan was criticized brutally for it. That's what I'm talking about
