AceShowbiz - San E landed in hot water following his alleged rude behavior towards Red Velvet's Irene, who sat beside him at the Ansan Friendship Super Show to celebrate the relation between Vietnam and South Korea on Saturday, October 14. During the event, the 32-year-old rapper could be seen randomly putting his arm on Irene's shoulder, making the former look obviously taken aback by the sudden gesture.

It came down after Irene greeted her fans by waving to them. San E, who sat beside her, later put his elbow on her shoulder and teased the fans by sticking his tongue out. In a video taken by a fan, the leader of Red Velvet, who is known for having a shy personality, looked stiffened and startled by the unexpected action.

After the video made its way out online, a lot of fans were outraged by the action. A fan commented, "You want to know this an act of showing off? As soon as he put his arm on her, she immediately became shocked and her whole body stiffened including her face. But instead of considering Irene's reaction, he only looked the audience's reactions. Do you think this is how a person would behave if they respected the person beside them? If he showed even the slightest consideration towards Irene, would he have put his arms on her without her consent? He didn't even think about how she would feel."

"Is he crazy? He's so rude," another fan similarly snarked. Another fan, meanwhile, took to Twitter to take a jab at the rapper, saying, "Okay. Irene really hates what San.E did. Why did he dare invade her personal space like that???"

San E was not only criticized for the alleged inconsiderate action, but also for pointing at Irene while rapping sexually objectifying lyrics of his song "Sour Grapes" at the event. The specific lyrics read, "I'll applaud you, I admit it, you're my type. Your smile is freaking pretty. I almost screenshotted you. For all the stupid guys just scan them once and they'll run around trying to get a loan for you. All the male beast followers are both good and bad. Your Instagram, look at her picture. It gives them an automatic pants tent just like SARS in a first world country. There's no cover-up, no more pretense, no no. Ay bay bay you look so much better in real life. People next to you look like homo sapiens, 100 out of 100. U so fly, like a crazy kite in the sky. I'll keep throwing it at you, hurray."

"Apparently, San E pointed at Irene during with such explicit lyrics. He pointed at Irene for only a few seconds," wrote a fan alongside a picture of San E pointing at Irene during the performance. "As a fan of Red Velvet, this really makes me mad. Touching her without her consent but also pointing at her while singing that kind of lyrics, I have no words," said an angered fan. "san e didn't just put his elbow on irene's shoulders but ALSO he was pointing his fingers while singing those pervy lyrics to irene!!!!" added another fan.
