SEVENTEEN's The8 Perfectly Handles A Rich Fan Who Tried To Give Him Gold

SEVENTEEN‘s The8 recently went viral on X for perfectly handling a rich fan at a fan event. The fan had secretly tried to sneak him a gold ingot.

She tried to pass it to him while holding his hands.

Rejecting gifts can be considered rude in some cultures. The8 did it in a way that made the fan’s heart flutter! He pressed it back into her palm firmly while covering it with his hand. He even told her to hold onto the valuable item well!

He proceeded to cover the item by holding hands with her, preventing others from seeing the expensive ingot.

Idols are rarely allowed to accept monetary gifts, especially in this day and age where it could easily be misconstrued. The8’s way of handling the situation gained praise and attention. The fan also created some buzz with how affluent they were! Their bracelets alone were worth tens of thousands of dollars.
