While many netizens joked about the situation and how Yoonchae always “disassociates” at the wrong time, it led to a resurgence of allegations that the idol is homophobic due to her reaction.

It saw similar comments about Yoonchae and sexuality.
Netizens tried to defend the idol, explaining that it wasn’t that deep and even that on one of the recent shows, Yoonchae was seen holding one of the flags.
@imnktstre1 SHE DIDNT MOVE A MUSCLE 😭😭 #yoonchae #katseye #tour #cortis #doremi
But netizens pointed out that she seemed uncomfortable, and the members shouldn’t force it upon Yoonchae.
