KiiiKiii member Haum has come under intense scrutiny after a moment during a recent livestream sparked widespread criticism online.
The controversy began when footage circulated showing Haum kissing fellow member Kya on the lips during the live broadcast. The clip quickly spread across social media, drawing strong reactions from fans in Korea and overseas.
Many viewers pointed out that Haum is 19 years old, while Kya is only 15, making her a minor. The age difference became the focal point of the discussion, with numerous netizens questioning whether the interaction was appropriate, especially since it happened during a public broadcast.
Critics argued that such behavior should not be normalized between an adult idol and an underage teammate. Others expressed discomfort that the incident unfolded in front of a live audience, saying it appeared likely to attract attention and provoke discussion.
The clip generated a wave of negative responses across online communities, with many fans voicing disappointment and calling the moment inappropriate regardless of the intentions behind it.
As the discussion continues, neither KiiiKiii nor the group’s agency has publicly addressed the controversy.
