The controversy stems from a fan signing event held in Guangzhou , where attendees had the chance to participate in a raffle. The prize was a Polaroid photo opportunity with Geonwoo.

According to a fan who claims they were the original winner, the situation took an unexpected turn when Geonwoo allegedly attempted to favor a well-known fansite master.

The fan alleged that Geonwoo openly asked for the raffle number belonging to the fansite. Upon noticing fellow member Sanghyun holding a slip of paper with that number, he reportedly took it and ensured that the fansite master was announced as the final winner instead.

Feeling wronged, the original winner took to online communities to share their experience. They also reportedly provided video footage of the moment, further fueling the controversy.

The fan expressed strong disappointment over the incident and announced their decision to leave the fandom entirely.

As the story spread, online reactions quickly turned critical. Many netizens questioned Geonwoo’s professionalism and fairness, with some even calling for his removal from the group:

  • “Why does he still have a guaranteed job after acting like that?”
  • “He still hasn’t left the group?”
  • “This kind of behavior doesn’t happen just once.”
  • “The more you dig, the worse it gets.”
