Sunmi’s Backup Dancer Cha Hyun Seung Received Sexually Explicit DMs After Their Viral Video
Content Warning
It’s no secret that K-Pop backup dancer and Single’s Inferno contestant Cha Hyun Seung is sexy AF.
He even low-key stole the show at the 2018 Waterbomb Festival, dancing with Sunmi. He became known as “Sunmi’s tan backup dancer.”
Now, he guested on Episode 9 of Show!terview with Sunmi after fans’ request. The two talked about everything from Single’s Inferno and relationships to their viral fancam of “24 Hours!”
Sunmi and Cha Hyun Seung reacted to the viral performance for the first time. It shocked even them…
Sunmi: Many people wanted to see us together. So, our fancam!
Cha Hyun Seung: Fancam?
Sunmi: I don’t usually watch my fancams because I feel embarrassed. While we’re here, I thought it would be great if we see it together today.
While they spent the majority of the episode refuting rumors that they were anything more than friends, Sunmi confessed that she now understood why people thought they were dating. The performance is so sensual!
I get why people have the wrong idea.
— Sunmi
Cha Hyun Seung revealed that he got a lot of attention after the viral video. So, he received DMs from both men and women.
Cha Hyun Seung: I received lots of DMs asking if I’m a model.
Sunmi: If you’re a model? But the DMs were… As far as I know, as much as many of them were from women, but many of them were from men, weren’t they?
Cha Hyun Seung: Thankfully, I got love and support from people of all genders.
Sunmi was curious to know what people messaged her backup dancer. Nothing could have prepared her for it, though!
What does it say in the DMs? I’m so curious about that!
— Sunmi
Cha Hyun Seung warned that it would be so explicit that it would be X-rated. Still, Sunmi let out a scream when he quoted just one DM.
This is going to be rated X. You know, the part where we dance together. Let me just say what it exactly says! ‘I wanna push out Sunmi and suck his…’ Most of them are on a similar level.
— Cha Hyun Seung
He reiterated that it was not just women who slid into his DMs either!
Sunmi: She? Or he?
Cha Hyun Seung: Both of them.
Despite the shocking DM, Sunmi wanted to know more. So, Cha Hyun Seung revealed he received more than just general sexts or thirst messages. Many went so far as even to send naked photos and videos of themselves.
Sunmi: What else?
Cha Hyun Seung: There are some people out there who want to show their bodies. I got so many photos and videos.
Sunmi: From men and women.
Cha Hyun Seung: Yeah.
Sunmi: I’ve got blank.
After they finished filming Show!terview, Sunmi asked the crew if that conversation was okay to include in the episode.
Is the DM thing okay? The DM was really shocking.
— Sunmi
Much to her surprise, Cha Hyun Seung revealed that the DM he quoted was not even the worst one he had received. So, she asked him what it was.
Cha Hyun Seung: It’s not even the worst one!
Sunmi: Not the worst one?! Then what? What’s the worst one? What’s the one made you, “Man, this is too much?”
Again, Sunmi was not prepared for what she heard. Cha Hyun Seung explained that he had received DMs that were straight-up sexual harassment that he could actually have means to sue.
That’s this video from a guy where he enjoys himself… Listen! Not finished yet! What’s more, with my photo in his hand… If I sued them for sexual harassment, I would be filthy rich.
— Cha Hyun Seung
Just because someone is a dancer or models does not justify objectifying and harassing.
