However, a sign read by the idol during the group’s Oakland concert has sparked discussions online.
During the concert, Jaemin was spotted reading a sign held by a fan that made a joke about his cat ownership. The sign read “Jaemin loves p*ssy,” and included photos of Jaemin with his three cats.
The original meaning of the word “p*ssy” is cat, but has transformed to be a crude way of referring to a person’s vagina. The sign seemed to be a play on this, attracting attention for this reason.
The original poster shared the video clip online, and was immediately met with criticism from other fans.
imagine getting a chance to possibly have an interaction with your favourite idol and this is what you do… https://t.co/TqBWEtrzNW pic.twitter.com/pGbDlHeUIn

Some even considered that the sign could be sexual harassment, with others warning about the “cultural differences.” Others felt the sign was not a big deal, and was just a joke.
I usually don’t police but srly this is simply disgusting and disrespectful no matter what you mean by this..I hope that you won’t do this kind of message again, always remember that we don’t have the same culture and understanding as them, ppl show them normal messages pls https://t.co/SGzIpbmaFK

This is the sign….ion think its that serious. He's a grown man he know what pussy is, and the poster has pics of him and his cats so its not exactly vulgar and offensive like we know how some people can actually be. https://t.co/2yz4NtKcVU pic.twitter.com/qUg1V34pDV
