The clips prompted debate over a group of men in the audience making loud sounds as the female celebrity appeared onstage. Some viewers interpreted the reaction as jeering or booing, while others argued that at least some of the crowd may have been imitating the “Siuuu” celebration commonly associated with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The original online post noted uncertainty over what the chant meant and suggested that some of the people involved appeared to simply be enjoying themselves.
However, many commenters criticized the behavior regardless of the intention behind it, arguing that directing the chant toward female celebrities could make the person onstage uncomfortable. Others said the reaction was immature, while a smaller number argued that the chant itself did not necessarily carry a negative meaning.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled comments were mostly critical of the crowd’s behavior, although a few users argued that the sounds may have been an imitation of Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Siuuu” celebration rather than intentionally hostile booing.
1. What is wrong with them?
2. They’re seriously not socially functional people.
3. People do that all the time in everyday life. It’s not like it necessarily has a bad meaning.
4. What kind of adults would do something like that as a group other than socially clueless Korean male livestream/community trolls? They just want to see the other person—especially young, pretty women—get uncomfortable or flustered by what they’re doing, but sure, “there’s no bad intention,” blah blah ㅋㅋ
5. That reaction is such loser behavior.
6. They don’t do that when foreign singers come t
o Korea for concerts—not that they should—and they only do it to female celebrities. Seriously... it’s so lame...

7. They look like total pathetic losers. Doing that together while hiding in a crowd is just ㅋ They honestly just look stupid.
8. What are they, kindergartners? Would they do that if professors were onstage? They’re college students, so they’re adults. Even elementary school kids know you should say things in a way the other person can understand when they hear you. They’re seriously hopeless.
9. If they’re just copying Ronaldo, then there’s no bad intention. They’re just stupid. I guess they think that’s fun.
10. They look like socially rejected losers desperately trying to get any kind of reaction out of women.
