[instiz] "DON'T TOUCH KARINA'S HAND" KIM DOHOON, CLARIFIES VIDEO OF HIM RUBBING KARINA'S HAND...

"Fan: Don't touch Karina's hand

Dohoon: ? ?

- I never touched her hand, but I did scratch my finger because it was itchy."

Actor Kim Dohoon has addressed controversy over allegedly touching aespa member Karina's hand inappropriately.

Kim Dohoon attended the production presentation for Netflix's variety show ‘Mystery Investigation Unit’ Season 2 on the 19th, alongside Lee Yong-jin, John Park, Hyeri, Kim Dohoon, Karina, and Gabee.

During the photo session, when asked to strike a pose showing teamwork, they created a giant star shape by holding hands in a warm atmosphere.

However, some netizens who watched the press conference footage pointed out Kim Dohoon's actions. During the photo session, Kim Dohoon stretched out both arms to hold hands with Karina and Gabee, but allegedly stroked and touched their hands excessively.

In response, one netizen sent a message via the paid fan communication platform Bubble on the 21st saying, “Don't touch Karina's hand.” Kim Dohoon explained, “I never touched her hand. I scratched my own finger because it was itchy.”

Following Kim Dohoon's explanation, netizens reacted to the video with comments like, “He was touching his own hand, right?”, “He was scratching his own hand, but it was misunderstood,” and “Would he rub hands in public, not even secretly?” The misunderstanding, fueled by hasty speculation, appears to be winding down as a minor incident.

Meanwhile, ‘Mystery Investigation Unit 2’ will be released on the 27th.

1. What a non-issue..

2. The actor's response is quite...

3. Damn.. people are making controversy out of everything

4. People are Twitter are going crazy over this. They go crazy over every small little thing

5. But looking at it in slow-mo does look weird

6. It was a post that was getting a lot of traction on Twitter. I don't even think it was a fan of Karina but just a weirdo

7. He was touching his own hand

8. Is that the one with the looping video? If so, the side holding Gabee, he was moving his hand too. It just seemed like his own hand was uncomfortable. Seriously, all this controversy... It looks that way because it's slowed down. If you watch the original video, you can see his fingers are scratching super fast the whole time

9. Did they really go through the trouble of using Bubble payment just to say that...? The world sure is full of people with too much money and time on their hands

10. Just looking at the photo, it seems he's holding both women's hands, and he's not even holding it properly? You can tell he's not putting any strength into his grip. What the?

(T/N: I think this is the tweet in question)
