Ever since EXO’s Kai was discharged from military service on February 10, 2025, and returned to his natural habitat, he has been grabbing a variety of eyeballs for his actions. Sometime back, he was all around the news for posting a dancing video clip on his TikTok account. Now, his latest social media post has garnered negative reactions from the netizens.
After posting a photograph on his social media account, the K-pop singer has come under fire.

This sparked debate online and led the singer right into a controversial situation. Many have already lashed out at him, while his fans definitely got here to blow out the hearth while defending their favorite idol.
Amid the genocide in Gaza, amongst the entire brands which were boycotted globally, Starbucks is one in every of them that fell under BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction). While the corporate has opened up about its stance regarding the NCT collaboration, netizens still voiced their opinion about Kai using the brand and showing off the brand to the world. One even called him ‘spineless.’
