NCT WISH · S3E153
NCT WISH member Sion's ceremonial first pitch at a KIA Tigers home game turned into a PR disaster — not because of anything he did, but because his own fanbase did. Fans flooded the cheering section, turned their backs to the field mid-game to photograph him in the stands, blocked sightlines, and ignored security. The reaction online hit strongly negative sentiment, among the harshest responses seen for a fan conduct incident.
The twist that shifted the conversation: Sion is widely recognized as a genuine baseball fan. The outrage wasn't just from baseball fans — it came from people defending him, furious that his fans are the ones damaging his reputation.
Korea's KBO [Korean Baseball Organization] cheering sections (응원석, eung-won-seok) are sacred territory — standing-room, full-voice zones where fans cheer every single at-bat. Invading that space mid-inning to photograph an idol is the equivalent of rushing the field at Fenway. The phrase "낫 서프라이즈" (not surprised) dominated the thread — a damning shorthand that this fanbase has a known, repeat-offender reputation.
"This is his favorite team's home stadium — and you're embarrassing him like this?" was the defining sentiment. Fans are now calling for Sion to simply stop attending games, because the chaos his fans create may have permanently closed that door for him.
