Jung Hae In’s recent appearance at Milan Fashion Week has drawn online discussion, with some fans criticizing the behavior of fellow attendees.
The actor attended Dolce & Gabbana’s Men’s Fall/Winter 2026 show as a global ambassador, dressed in a sleek black outfit. However, attention soon shifted from his look to a video circulating on social media.
The clip shows Jung seated in the front row between American singer Benson Boone and Turkish actor Kerem Bürsin. In the footage, Boone and Bürsin are seen leaning across Jung to talk to each other, while Jung remains quiet, facing forward with a composed but slightly uncomfortable expression.
Some Korean netizens noted that speaking across someone seated between you can be perceived as rude, regardless of cultural differences. Others also criticized the physical closeness, saying Jung appeared to have little personal space, cramped in his seat.
Additional criticism emerged after Bürsin later shared photos from the event on Instagram that included Boone and other celebrities seated nearby but did not feature Jung, despite Jung sitting next to him during the show.
Some fans also pointed out that ELLE UK did not tag Jung Hae In in posts showing him at the event. The magazine had previously faced criticism for cropping BLACKPINK’s Rosé in past coverage.
While some international fans suggested the interaction may have been brief or unintentional, Korean netizens argued that the overall situation reflects a recurring issue in which Asian celebrities are sidelined at Western fashion events.
Jung Hae In has not commented on the matter and maintained a calm, professional demeanor throughout the event.
