The male idol from the trending WORKDOL lack-of-effort controversy and his usual attitude
NCT WISH’s Yushi is facing renewed scrutiny as fans compile examples they say show a recurring pattern of dismissive behavior.
NCT WISH Yushi's usual attitude
1. Getting passive-aggressive with a fan who asked him to come on Weverse more often
2. While BoA was scolding him: “Your Japanese is really good.”
3. His attitude in their own content
When another member asked Yushi to be on the same team for the chicken fight, he refused
Then a staff member in front of them said something, and the other member sitting next to him kept nodding
and quietly coaxed him, saying, “You have to... You have to... Yushi, you have to...”
after coaxing him
Yushi went out like he was being dragged there, then just stood around
4. After making a Korean member try to read a Japanese sign: “How can you not know kanji?”
Even when the Korean member said to Yushi, “Hyung, keep teaching me,”
Yushi just kept going on about how the member could not know kanji
For context, another Japanese member in the same group saw that Korean member studying kanji and praised him for being impressive, which made the contrast even starker
5. His attitude at the airport
Not once since debut has Yushi even slightly nodded in response when a reporter said, “Hello, Yushi,”
so another member eventually waved on his behalf
Another member also told him to take off his headphones
There wasn't a single shot of him waving, so they could only barely squeeze him into the upper-right corner of the thumbnail
You'd think they were a 5-member group
6. Throwing a tissue he had blown his nose into toward the audience
7. Playing a prank by burning another member's hand with a torch
8. His attitude during photo time at a fansign
Just standing there blankly by himself 9. P.S? What's P.S?
But he'd written P.S messages perfectly well in the past, so it's not like he didn't know what it meant 10. Telling a fan who deliberately went all the way to the sea for their video call, “I don't like the sea”
But then he said in an interview that he likes the sea
11. “Time, time's up, haha”
12. Even the members openly say he's ruled by his moods
And then there was this tweet posted today
Compared with his usual attitude, I honestly thought Yushi did really well by Yushi standards on WORKDOL,
so Yushi's fans are genuinely baffled about why he's getting dragged

It's honestly so weird that he's a popular member... Whether the torch thing was a prank or an accident, I saw the member who got hurt clearly in pain, and Yushi just kept laughing. That really rubbed me the wrong way. Most people would at least ask if the other person was okay.
Let's say everything else was just an incident. But the torch on the hand is something I've never seen in the entertainment industry in my life... It's bizarre, and honestly seems serious enough that he should get a psychological evaluation or something.
The fans who stan him make the least sense to me. I eventually unstanned because of him too.
