C.A.P. may have been the leader of a popular boy group but that doesn’t mean the idol was immune to bullying. The former TEEN TOP member revealed that he was often disrespected by fans. According to Bang Minsu, he was often abused during fan signing events.
C.A.P. Reveals TEEN TOP Fans’ Abusive Behavior
The former TEEN TOP member recently took part in a casual interview. In the candid YouTube interview, C.A.P. candidly shared his emotional journey during his tenure with TEEN TOP. He shed light on the challenges he faced, particularly at fan signing events. Contrary to the common assumption that all group members receive equal adoration, he admitted to grappling with the sense of being the least favored member.
“I was fine with not having a lot of fans,” he said. “But, I struggled with fans of other members being hostile toward me.”
Bang Minsu went on to share what these “admirers” would say to him.
“They’d say, ‘You’re the reason TEEN TOP isn’t getting more popular,’ or ‘It’s your fault that my bias isn’t getting all the attention.’ They’d make it very clear to me at fan sign events and whatnot that they hated me,” he said.
It’s a shocking revelation considering that most stans prefer a particular member and would support them more than the rest of the group. However, it is unexpected to know that there are admirers who would say abusive things to the other group members.
For C.A.P., he is putting that time behind him. TOP Media had previously announced that Bang Minsu decided to leave TEEN TOP following his recent controversy. The agency confirmed that the group will continue promoting with four members. In the meantime, C.A.P. issued an apology for his actions.
TEEN TOP recently released the album ‘4SHO’ on July 4. It would be their first album after C.A.P’s departure and their first release in four years.
