It immediately went viral, and netizens couldn’t get over Changbin’s hilarious actions and the realization that it was the MET Gala and aegyo might not be as appropriate compared to a K-Pop event. They also shared videos of other idols like IU and aespa‘s Giselle, who had similar moments of aegyo at the most unexpected events.

Changbin is definitely the “King of aegyo,” and it’s not surprising that his natural instinct when seeing a camera was to do something cute.
The moment of realization was iconic.
