What are your thoughts?

A past video clip of the KATSEYE members allegedly mocking Yoonchae has gone viral online.

However, others defended the group members, stating that they were just copying a meme that they had filmed before the interview.

• “The meme is about making a weird sound after someone compliments them, so while Yoonchae was complimenting Lara, the other members were just copying the meme.”
• “Before filming the interview, they filmed a meme video, so after they heard the ‘dap’ sound, they probably thought of the meme.”

Regardless, many netizens still felt it was racist towards Yoonchae.
