JAKARTA - The 2024 Hanteo Music Award ceremony was held for two days leaving an unpleasant impression. The event, which was held on February 17-18, also drew controversy from both fans and the public.

Although the lineup was enlivened by a number of top K-pop groups, a number of incidents that occurred did not escape the public's view. Even a number of idols showed their discomfort while on stage.

This news began when one of the fans who attended the event said there was one fan defecating (BAB) in the standing area. Several other fans confirmed and shared photos that their pants were exposed to the person's defecation. This makes the condition of the standing area very bad and can be seen from the idols covering their noses when standing on stage.

Another portrait of sharing the condition of the audience area near the Hanteo Music Award 2024 stage was very chaotic. A number of fans pushed each other and even fought. Seeing this, several ATEEZ members took the initiative to advise the guard staff to keep the crowd in shape.

It is known that Kim Jiwoong, one of the ZEROBASEONE members, became controversial after allegedly speaking rudely to fans in a fanign session. Although the agency and the idol denied this, the public began throwing protests at Jiwoong. One of the things that became a concern was when someone shouted loudly at Kim Jiwoong to get out of the group when ZEROBASEONE finished performing. The screams were greeted back with other fans and the video went viral until four million views were watched.

When ZEROBASEONE fans heard Jiwoong's screams, they immediately hit each other. This is a concern because several idols sitting near the area saw the incident firsthand.

Not only defecating, there were also Hanteo spectators who urinated (BAK) in the standing area. The person immediately wrote an apology after this incident went viral on social media.

"Hello, I'm the person BAK in Hanteo. First, I didn't mean to do it on purpose.. I detained him from before he came in but I let him go. I am very sorry to all those who felt aggrieved because of me. I apologize after seeing the tweet of the person who defecated. I apologize once again, "wrote the user X.
