MET Gala Paparazzi Accused Of Making “Offensive” Comments Towards Stray Kids Has Website “Hacked”

“I respect how STAYs stand on business.”

On May 6, Stray Kids made history as the first full K-Pop group invited to attend the MET Gala.

Despite mixed feelings about their styling, many praised the group’s handsome visuals and eagerly took in every detail of their appearance at the event.

Unfortunately, the attention to detail led to the discovery of some offensive comments made by paparazzi taking photos of attendees. Including calling them “unemotional” and “robots,” many believed some comments held a racist undertone.

Leader Bang Chan was praised for handling the situation by fans and media, but many were satisfied with the lack of response from the individuals allegedly involved.

This has led some to take matters into their own hands, using their detective skills to hunt down those involved.

Due the continuous photos taken at the MET Gala from both sides of the stairs, meaning photographers on either side would be captured.

This allowed fans to do detective work, using information online and the video clip to narrow down a possible list of subjects. Photographer Sean Zanni was one individual accused of making comments, leading to his Instagram being privated.

However, someone took things a step further, somehow changing the photographer’s website, listed under his name, to a simple screen that read “#ApologizeToStrayKids.

What likely happened is someone purchased the expired website domain, allowing them to make changes as they please.

No one has come forward to claim this action, however, fans are seeing it as justified due to a lack of response from anyone thus far.
