It's not like she did that because the manager could hear the snapping sound. It looks natural, like a habit.&quot;&quot;Usually people who snap their fingers at others consider themselves above those around them.&quot;&quot;For someone who isn't even popular, her celebrity disease is no joke.&quot;&quot;She looks like she's calling her pet dog.&quot;That'sAmore🍀@9FloverField@c_sharpton @allkpop &quot;Clapping like the manager is her pet or something&quot;1@c_sharpton @allkpop &quot;Clapping like the manager is her pet or something&quot;notpannchoa/notpannkpop/notnetizenbuzz@notpannchoa2[ notpannchoa ] Knets react to Fromis9 Noh Jisun's finger snapping to call her staff174[ notpannchoa ] Knets react to Fromis9 Noh Jisun's finger snapping to call her staff https://t.co/70jIlgkZkENot everyone agrees, however.
