Controversy over 'bad hand' of man who placed his hand on Ive Ahn Yu-jin's pelvis

At the Fendi fashion show attended by Ahn Yu-jin, a member of the group IVE, controversy arose over the fashion director's pose for a photo shoot.

Ahn Yu-jin attended the 'Fendi 2024 Fall-Winter Women's Collection Fashion Show' held in Milan, Italy on the 21st. Ahn Yu-jin, wearing a long beige dress on a yellow background, took a photo with Fendi women's wear art director Kim Jones at the photo zone.

The man in the photo placed his hand on An Yu-jin's pelvis while taking the photo, and after finishing the photo shoot, he moved his hand past An Yu-jin's pelvis and swept up her waist. As the video and photos published in the British magazine iD Official X were released, a heated debate broke out.

Director Kim Jones is a fashion designer who made his name known by collaborating with the artisans of Fendi's atelier. He participated as the creative director of the Louis Vuitton men's clothing line in 2011, took charge of the Christian Dior men's clothing line in 2018, and the Fendi women's clothing line in 2020. In November 2021, he won the Designer of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards.

Fans who saw the video responded with comments such as "It's rude to touch the pelvis," "It's embarrassing to see," and "The waist may be okay, but the pelvis crosses the line," while some fans responded by saying, "It's a cultural difference." did.

Meanwhile, Ive members, including Yujin Ahn, will hold a fan meeting 'MAGAZINE IVE' at the Olympic Handball Stadium on March 9th and 10th. Ahn Yu-jin is active in TVING's mystery entertainment show 'Crime Scene Returns'.
