Stray Kids member I.N personally reached out to fans with an apology following an unexpected incident during a recent fancon.
The moment occurred at the group’s fancon STAY in Our Little House. During the encore stage, the members moved around the venue to greet fans more closely. While interacting with the crowd and exchanging high-fives, I.N suddenly lost his footing after tripping over something on the ground.
As he stumbled, he instinctively grabbed onto the nearest support to steady himself—this turned out to be a fan’s outstretched hand. Although the fan had not intended to pull him, her presence helped prevent what could have been a more serious fall.
Later that same evening, I.N took to a fan communication platform to address the situation directly. He expressed both gratitude and concern, explaining that he may have gripped the fan’s hand too tightly in the moment and worried that he might have caused discomfort or injury.
“Today was really fun. But I almost fell during the encore. Thankfully, a STAY helped me, so I didn’t get hurt. I think I held onto their hand too tightly though, and I’m worried I might have hurt them. I’m really thankful. It could have been worse, but they helped me. Tomorrow is already the last day, I’ll do even better,” he shared.
The situation initially led to some misunderstandings online, with a few viewers assuming that a fan had pulled him down. However, those assumptions were quickly corrected. Fans later apologized for the confusion, and the individual involved reportedly confirmed that she was not injured.
The incident ultimately highlighted I.N’s sincerity, as he took immediate responsibility and ensured that the fan’s well-being was addressed.
