Many of the fans who applauded Stray Kids’ attendance at the Met Gala also uploaded recordings in which the group was subjected to ‘racist’ remarks by the paparazzi.

Bang Chan, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Hyunjin, I.N., Lee Know, Changbin, and Changbin from Stray Kids attended the 2024 Met Gala in New York. Being the first K-pop group to be invited to the event, they created history. The theme of this year’s Met Gala was Reawakening Fashion: Sleeping Beauties.

Premiere of Stray Kids at the 2024 Met Gala

Following the group’s debut at the Met Gala, fans from all around the world uploaded photos and videos of them. Wearing custom Tommy Hilfiger outfits in the designer’s signature red, white, and blue colour scheme, the eight members walked the carpet. While many admirers praised the trio’s attendance at the event and their good looks, many others released footage in which they claimed the group was the target of “racist” remarks made by Met Gala paparazzi.

What supposedly the Met Gala photographers said about the Stray Kids

A few photographers were heard conversing in a video that a fan posted. “I’ve never seen so many so many unemotional faces before,” one of them said. There came a second voice that said, “They’re robots.” “Ya, right?” the first individual remarked, laughing. A paparazzo then said, “Oh, so we have to do it again?” as the Stray Kids members removed their coats to show their clothes. Additionally, someone suggested, “Let’s do it with feelings now.” Everyone leaps. There was also the sound of photographers laughing.

Online outrage over remarks made about Stray Kids

One individual commented on the video, saying, “I’m legit so mad.” Are these paparazzi really so prejudiced and ignorant? Who opened the door for them?” A fan stated, “Paparazzi being very loudly racist towards SKZ at the Met and not facing any backlash from the people around them is crazy.” Someone wrote, “Can anyone help distribute this? After all of this, he added, “I bet they’re going to start performing hello. Are paparazzi always this rude?”

“The comments the paparazzi are making??” said a member on X. That is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!” Another admirer remarked, “It is disgusting and abhorrent that a major (and ostensibly respectable) event such as the Met Gala still doesn’t use real professional photographers and instead allows rude, racist paparazzi to harass the attendees. And nobody else in the vicinity said anything either.”
