The fashion world has been dominated by K-Pop in the past few weeks as idols have jetted to Europe to attend the prestigious Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. One idol who has gained attention for his behavior at a show is NCT‘s Johnny.

In a photo of ILLIT and Johnny, netizens noticed that there was a distance between them all, and many pointed out that the NCT member was probably doing it intentionally to be polite.

In a video, Johnny explained, as he got closer to the members, that he felt he seemingly felt he needed to close his jacket up a bit.

While some fans found it funny, others pointed out that the actions showcased Johnny’s true personality. In particular, the members of ILLIT are extremely young, with many pointing out that Johnny had started training before one member was even born. As the members are young girls, Johnny didn’t feel it was appropriate to stand so close to them, especially while he wasn’t wearing a shirt.
