IVE’s An Yujin Harassed by FENDI Director? Fans Angered by Hand Placement

On February 21 (local time), a video of IVE’s An Yujin standing with FENDI’s creative director Kim Jones at the 2024 FENDI Fashion Week was published on the SNS platform X (formerly Twitter). 

In the video, the FENDI director can be seen hugging An Yujin closely and placing his hand on her hips, even sliding it in a questionable manner.

  • He is basically harassing her… That’s so creepy?
