Many defended the idol with “proof.”
Koreaboo

A video is going viral, allegedly comparing the crowd’s reaction to Mark versus ENHYPEN‘s Jay, seemingly showing that the former NCT member had an almost silent response compared to the HYBE idol.
@austrailianboyjake im actually shedding tears #jay #jayenhypen #enhypen #kpop #fyp
The comments were divided.
While some mocked Mark and the alleged reaction, some hit back at the fake nature of the videos, with some adding that they were edited to make the idol seem like he received no reaction from the crowds.
On X, netizens also shared evidence that the TikTok was wrong, with videos and clips showing the love that Mark received at the event.
