Yet, there are always haters present no matter what you do. Photographers were heard being “disrespectful” to Stray Kids in a video captured by media outlets. As the members posed until the moment they walked away, some photographers were vocally rude to them.

Can anybody spread this?? Are paparazzi always this rude…literally after this he said I bet they're gonna start performing hello?? #StrayKids_MetGala #StrayKids #MetGala pic.twitter.com/EJJl72oWAU

Paparazzi 1: Never seen so many unemotional faces in my life.
Paparazzi 2: They’re like robots.
Paparazzi 1: Yeah, right.
Paparazzi 1: Now let’s do it with feeling!

While photographers are expected to give directions on posing, one was heard yelling, “Everyone jump,” before another said, “How do you say right in Korean?” Some joked that it looked like they would start performing while complaining about how they were standing.

The comments the paparazzi are making?? That's DISPERPECTFUL!

Naturally, protective leader, Bang Chan, went into “dad mode.” After courteously taking the photos, despite the rudeness they endured, he led the members up the stairs to the event.
