The yelling controversy
A video from the group’s latest fan meeting event has gone viral, and the reason behind the same will leave you shocked! It so happened that NCT WISH recently held a fan meeting with fans to interact with many of them on a one-on-one basis.
While the event was going smoothly, one of the K-pop group’s fans suddenly yelled at Sion after he asked a question to the idol beside him.
Yes, the fan meeting took an unexpected turn when one of their fans abruptly yelled at Sion for interrupting Sakuya’s interaction.
Sion had simply asked a question to Sakuya, but it was the fan’s retaliating reaction that led to an outburst and eventually sparked debate online. While some netizens criticized Sion’s timing, a few others defended him and condemned the fan’s disrespectful behavior during the one-on-one moment.

Please release the full video. We need to confirm whether Sion was talking to the interpreter or Sakuya.
Even if he did ask Sakuya, it was just a quick question to focus on the fansign. It's not a big mistake.
You were always a solo stan who hated Sion.
Stop attacking Sion. https://t.co/d1wX3XJSVS— im5sion_02 (@SeokKino) August 3, 2025
Why should sakuya be criticized for sion’s actions? He’s done absolutely nothing wrong, and he never does. Everyone in wish, except for one, are genuinely kind-hearted kids with good intentions. It’s honestly heartbreaking to watch their leader drag them down like this
