SEVENTEEN's Mingyu Abruptly Leaves Fancall — Here's Why He Ditched

A resurfaced video fan call involving SEVENTEEN member Mingyu has drawn attention after the singer ended the conversation when a fan made an inappropriate request.

Many entertainment companies have continued to hold video fan calls that allow supporters around the world to speak directly with their favourite idols. These online meetings often lead to light-hearted or memorable moments that spread widely on social media.

Some calls have also drawn attention for uncomfortable exchanges between fans and artists. One such moment occurred during promotions for SEVENTEEN's 2023 single 'God of Music'. A short clip from the interaction circulated widely online and prompted discussion among viewers.

Mingyu's Viral Fan Call Moment

During the video call, a fan began the conversation by asking Mingyu if he would give her a Christmas present. Mingyu replied by asking what she wanted. The fan then responded with a request to see his abs.

Mingyu laughed briefly before declining the request. He replied, 'You're really funny. That's a no. Bye~'. The call ended shortly afterwards, leaving the fan surprised by the sudden conclusion.

The fan attempted to continue the conversation after his response. She said, 'Why? I mean honestly...', but the call had already ended before she could finish speaking. Mingyu disconnected the call before the exchange continued further.

Timing Of The Call's Ending

As the conversation came to a close, a staff member could be heard saying 'time's up', indicating that the fan call had already reached its time limit. Video calls during promotional events typically last only a short period so that many participants can speak with the artists.

Although the time limit had already been reached, the call ended more abruptly than many similar interactions. The sudden ending led viewers to believe Mingyu may have chosen to close the call after hearing the request. The short clip quickly spread across fan communities online.

Fan Reactions To The Incident

Many viewers commented on the moment after the clip circulated online. Several responses focused on the behaviour shown during the call and the way Mingyu handled the situation. The incident became a widely shared topic among fans discussing online fan call etiquette.

One response criticised the request made during the interaction. The comment read: 'are you ffr?! and not getting embarrassed at all ?!? have some shame on you do you think it's funny to hear that from a random stranger?!? CARATS ARENT SEVENTEENS FRIENDS AND EVEN IF THEY WERE THIS IS NOT A WAY TO TREAT PEOPLE FFS'.

Other comments focused on Mingyu's decision to end the call. One fan wrote, 'MINGYU THE MAN YOU ARE!!! now i just need all the other idols who get weirdos on fancalls to follow his lead and start hanging up on these people'. Another added, 'I hope more idols are able to start hanging up on all the people that make them feel uncomfortable'.

A further response stated, 'We need more idols hanging up on people during fancalls. They shouldn't have to sit there and be uncomfortable'. These reactions spread widely as the clip continued to circulate online.

Continued Use Of Video Fan Calls

Video fan calls remain a common part of promotional campaigns for K-pop groups. They allow supporters who cannot attend events in person to interact briefly with performers. These calls often create memorable or humorous moments that gain attention online.

At the same time, the format places artists in direct conversations with fans. Occasional uncomfortable exchanges have therefore become a topic of discussion among fan communities. The brief call involving Mingyu is one of the more recent examples to circulate widely.
