On November 20, 2024, SEVENTEEN's Mingyu held a fan call event with his fans. During the call, one fan asked him if he would like to be her "daddy" or "husband." In response, the LALALI rapper stated:
"Be your daddy. I am your father."
For the unversed, the meaning of the term "daddy" has changed in recent years, due to its innocuous yet sensual interpretation. Therefore, several fans found the question immensely inappropriate and took to X to react to it. They apologized to the SEVENTEEN member for such uncomfortable and "cringe" questions from fans, as one fan wrote:
"This is so cringe I am so sorry mingyu."
Another netizen stated that Mingyu needed to tell the fan to hang up the call, while some said the idol should be saved from such inappropriate fan calls.
"My man father-zoned her. Stop being cringy when you have the opportunity to meet him," one fan wrote.
"He needed to tell her to hang up the phone and start studying after that," another fan stated.
"The way I physically recoiled omfg save this poor man from such fancalls," a fan added.
Others asserted that no fans should ask their favorite idols such questions.
"NO NO NO WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT QUESTION IT’S SO CRINGE. Why can’t more fans just interact normally??!" one fan commented.
"Why are fancalls never normal like bunch of degenerates always get in istg," another fan remarked.
"I can’t get over this you can tell he genuinely thought of daddy as a father. oh mingyu it was a trap," one other fan commented.
