Orbits are not happy and understandably so!
LOONA are one of the many Kpop groups that are filming for the 2020 Seollal ISAC (Idol Star Athletic Championship). However, a recent video which has gone viral has fans furious demanding for an answer from MBC.
A staff was caught on camera walking up to LOONA Chuu who was among her members in a circle, to reportedly interview her. Instead of calling her name or even tapping her on the shoulder, he decided it’s a good idea to pull her by the hair to grab her attention.
You can definitely see that force was used because Chuu leaned back after having her hair pulled which shows force was used. As you’d expect, Orbits (LOONA fandom name) was NOT okay with this. They started trending this hashtag #아육대_스태프_사과해 which means (ISAC_Staff_Apologize) and tagged MBC’s official account to draw their attention to this issue.
what he did was absolutely disrespectful and unacceptable. pulling someone’s hair to get his/her attention is never the right way to do it. he could’ve just tapped chuu on the shoulder. #아육대_스태프_사과해 pic.twitter.com/QhlyYYi1Iw

Some are saying the act looked playful and asking why orbits are making into a big deal, to me that was not a normal or professional way to call someone even if he was being ‘friendly’
He pulled hard enough for chuu’s head to tilt back towards him…#아육대_스태프_사과해

If you invite them to a small venue to be tired and do nothing most of the day at the very least you can do is to give them the environment of respect.#아육대_스태프_사과해

you don’t PULL on someone’s hair to get their attention. that’s straight up disrespectful and unacceptable. is it so hard to just tap her shoulder or gain her attention without aggression😐
