Kang Minseo, the leader of the group Fantasy Boys, is causing concern as he was observed using a hand gesture during a recent live stream that resembles a distress signal known globally. The gesture, which involves holding one hand up with the thumb tucked in and fingers folded over it, is commonly used by individuals experiencing domestic violence or abuse to discreetly seek help. This led to speculation and worry among fans who questioned whether Kang was genuinely reaching out for assistance.
Further adding to the unease, it was revealed that Kang Minseo would not participate in a scheduled video call fan event the following day due to "health reasons," as stated by the event host, Everline. This announcement, coming right after the live stream incident, heightened fans' anxieties.
Fans began reevaluating Kang's past messages on the Bubble platform, such as "Just got off work," "I don’t think I’m okay," and "It’s a bit overwhelming," which were initially regarded as signs of fatigue but are now being reconsidered as potential distress signals.
Despite the growing concerns, Kang's agency, PocketDol Studio, has not issued any statement or clarification regarding the situation. Fans have taken to social media with hashtags like #ProtectFantasyBoys and #HelpFantasyBoys to demand that the agency ensures the members' well-being. Some fans are even planning truck protests, indicating that the controversy surrounding Kang Minseo is far from over.
