British singer-songwriter and producer FKA twigs recently held an event in Seoul, attracting numerous celebrities, including SEVENTEEN members THE 8 and Vernon (Choi Han-sol, 최한솔). Both K-pop idols also performed on stage.
During the event, a video rapidly gained traction on social media. In the clip, THE 8 is seen performing on stage while FKA twigs showcases her pole dancing skills behind him. When THE 8 turns to look at her and then turns back, eagle-eyed netizens immediately noticed his ears had suddenly turned bright red.
After the video was released, netizens couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my god! Myung-ho's ears are so red!" "His ears turned red the moment he turned around," and "FKA twigs' pole dance is so cool, and they even made eye contact!"
Some netizens even jokingly suggested there was an undeniable "chemistry" between the two, with some playfully speculating that THE 8 might have a crush on FKA twigs.
